Connecting a parish mailbox to Outlook
Parish Email > Connect to Outlook
If you have a parish email account and would like to access it via Outlook, here is how to go about it.
1. Open the Outlook mobile app
Click on the ‘home’ icon to go to the ‘All Accounts’ page
2. Add your parish account
Click on the ‘plus’ icon to to add a new account
Enter your parish email address (replacing user with your own account name!) and click CONTINUE.
If you are offered connection options, click on IMAP.
The Email Address should already be filled with what you entered in the previous step.
Enter your WitV email account Password.
The Display Name should be your full name, i.e. Firstname Lastname
Set the Description to something like ‘Parish’ or ‘WitV’
Then click the Tick icon at the top.
After authorization (which takes a few seconds), you should find your new mailbox has been added, identified by an icon with the initial letter of the Description you entered in the previous step.
3. Using your connected mailbox
In future, whenever you use the Outlook app, you will be able to select which mailbox you wish to access.
In the app, when you tap on the Home icon in top left-hand corner, you will see a list of available mailboxes. Tap on the one you want to access and you will be able to view and send messages from that mailbox.
