How to set up Cambridge University email on Outlook

I'm using my outlook (version 16.16.10) on my Mac (Mojave 10.14.3)

Cambridge UIS didn't provide a working tutorial for me. So I'm writing down the correct version in case someone needs it:



1. Open outlook -> Tools --> Accounts
2. Click the + on bottom left -> new account
3. Type your XXX@cam.ac.uk email, click continue , then quickly click "choose the provider"
4. Select IMAP/POP . (Don't select Exchange or 365)
5. Then fill the form based on these instructions:

  • Email address: Your CRSid@cam.ac.uk email address – e.g. xyz123@cam.ac.uk
  • User name: Your CRSid – e.g. xyz123
  • Password: Your password for Hermes (this might not be the same as your Raven password)
  • Incoming Server: imap.hermes.cam.ac.uk
  • Port: 993
  • Security/Encryption: SSL
  • Outgoing Server: smtp.hermes.cam.ac.uk
  • Port: 587
  • Security/Encryption: STARTTLS (optional)
Then it's done!
