Please be sure to follow the instructions below to keep from losing your old email from your previous mail host.
  1. Follow the setup instructions provided above for adding a new account. Please DO NOT edit an existing account as you will lose your old emails and folders.
  2. Once the new account is created, begin adding your previous folder structure to the new account so it mirrors your previous setup.
  3. Within your email client, copy the emails from the folders on the old account to the folders on the new account.
  4. Click Send/Receive to sync up the messages from your email client to the mail server. Please note: depending on the number and size of the messages, this could take several minutes.

  1. Select Tools / IMAP Folders and Click the Query button.
  2. Select the newly added folder(s), click the Subscribe button and click the OK button.
  3. Restart Outlook to update the folder list.
