Connect your Outlook account
In Settings, choose Add email account and pick Outlook. Microsoft handles the sign-in, then sends you back to MailOver and the first sync starts automatically. Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and Microsoft 365 work or school accounts all work the same way, and Outlook also syncs your other folders.
Which Outlook accounts work
Outlook works the same whether you use a personal address or a company one. Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and Microsoft 365 work or school accounts all connect through the same flow. You connect with secure OAuth, so Microsoft handles the sign-in and MailOver never sees your password. MailOver gets the access it needs to read and sort your mail, mark a message as read once it has processed it, and send a reply when you ask. It does not delete or reorganize your inbox on its own, and you can disconnect any time.
Connect Outlook, step by step
Open Settings and choose Add email account. In MailOver, go to Settings, then the Account tab, find Connected accounts, and select Add email account.
Pick Outlook from the provider list. Choose Outlook, and MailOver opens Microsoft's secure sign-in in a new window.
Gmail
Outlook
IMAPSign in with Microsoft and grant access. Sign in to your Microsoft account and approve the access MailOver requests. If you use a work or school account, your admin may have set its own approval screen, but the steps are the same.
Wait for the first sync. MailOver returns to your inbox and starts reading. Action Items, Highlights, and categories appear within a few minutes, and older mail keeps loading in the background.
Folders beyond the inbox
Outlook accounts sync your inbox plus your other folders, up to a per-plan limit. Free syncs up to 5 folders per account, Plus up to 8, Pro up to 12, and Ultra up to 25. Your inbox is picked up in near-real-time, and other folders are checked on a regular cycle so nothing important slips by.
If the connection fails
If Microsoft reports an error or the connection later expires, open Settings and reconnect the account, approving access when Microsoft prompts you. Work and school accounts sometimes need an admin to allow the app first. If it keeps failing, remove the account and add it again, or email [email protected].
