User Information: enter your full name and Backstage email address into the corresponding fields.

Server Information: enter your Backstage server address in the Mail Server field. The server address is usually “backstage.yourcompany.com”. Alternatively, just match the company name to the domain used for your email address.

Logon Information: enter everything before the “@” in your email address into the User Name field, and your password into the password field. Please note that if your email address domain is different from the server domain, you’ll need to enter your entire email address in the User Name field.

Offline Settings: this sets the time period for which Outlook will retain a copy of an email locally (emails will never leave the server, no matter how old). We recommend setting this to “All” on a desktop computer.

When you have entered and verified all of the required info, click on Next to add the account.
