How to Add Outlook Account to Mac Mail

Are you struggling to open Outlook emails on your Mac? Do you want to associate Outlook with the .eml file extension? This article will guide you through the process of setting Outlook as your default email reader and composition app on a Mac.

First, let's start by explaining why you need to set Outlook as your default email reader. If you're using Google Chrome as your default web browser, you can tell it to automatically open .eml files with Microsoft Outlook. To do this, right-click on an .eml file and select 'Change All' then click 'Continue'. This will associate the .eml file extension with Microsoft Outlook.

Next, we need to change the 'Open with' option for .eml files to Microsoft Outlook. To do this, go to the Files section of your task and find the attached email file. Right-click on it and select 'Get Info'. Then, click on the 'Open with' dropdown menu and select Microsoft Outlook.

Another way to set Outlook as your default email reader is by using the Apple Mail app. Open the Preferences menu, then select General. Click on the 'Default email reader' option and select Microsoft Outlook. This will ensure that whenever you open an email address or attachment, it opens in Outlook automatically.

If you want to make Outlook the default app to open email files, which normally end in an .eml file extension, follow these steps: Go to the Files section of your task and find the attached email file. Right-click on it and select 'Get Info'. Then, click on the 'Open with' dropdown menu and select Microsoft Outlook.

Finally, if you want to use Outlook as the email app on your Mac so that when you click on an email address, it opens in Outlook automatically, follow these steps: Click on the Apple logo at the top left of your screen, then select System Preferences. Select General, then select Default Apps. Under Email, select Microsoft Outlook.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to open and manage your Outlook emails directly from your Mac Mail app. No more hassle or confusion!
