Set up a work email account in Outlook on macOS

Important note:

To set up an email account, you must have a valid user account (BA-Number).

To set up a task-specific email account, you must already have been granted the necessary access permissions (for example, by the management of your organizational unit), which means you must be a member of the relevant security group.

Adding an email account

Launch Outlook, then open the Accounts… submenu from the Tools menu…

Click the + icon in the bottom-left corner and select Add Account

As shown in Figure 1, enter your university email address in the window that appears. After clicking Next, a new window will open.

Setting up an email account

If you have clicked on Continue as described above, a login window will now appear. Enter the relevant data here as follows:

  • Method: User name and password
  • E-Mail address: Your university e-mail address
  • DOMÄNE\User name or e-mail: uni-bamberg\Your personal BA-Number with the suffix -email
    • Example: uni-bamberg\baxxxx-email
  • Password: The password from the IAM-Portal under Email App Password

Now click on Add account. You may need to confirm the university certificate by clicking Next. After a moment, the account is set up and you can close the setup dialog by clicking on Done.

Figure 2 shows the login window with your user name and password filled in.
