Your instructions are weird. Try:

Android

You can now use the Office Outlook app on your Android phones or tablets.

Download the Microsoft Outlook app or search for Outlook in Google Play with your Android device.
After the install, tap Get Started.
Next, select the account that you like to add.
Sign in to the account and the Microsoft Outlook app will begin to sync with that account.

Notes

App might not be available in all countries or regions or devices.
You can't edit your contacts in the app.

If you’re unable to use the app for any reason, you can still set up Outlook.com on your Android device. Here’s how:

On your device, tap Email, then tap Add account.
Enter your Outlook.com email address and password, then tap Manual setup.
Under What type of account is this? tap Exchange.
If there is a Domain field, leave it blank. If there is a Username field, enter your email address.
Enter your password.
For Server name enter s.outlook.com.
Make sure the Use secure connection (SSL) checkbox is checked, then tap Next.
Choose your account options and tap Next.
To finish setup, tap Done.

Let me know if that works.

Wow - thank you so very much!!!! I will try first via the app - if not then Manual set up, which is the way I was trying to go...may I ask why EXCHANGE? when I looked up the descriptions for all 2 options, I thought that wasn't for me - can't remember now if that was the business one - since this is just individual, personal use. And, I didn't see the SSI o SSL that you mentioned; but, i'm going to keep your reply in front of me as I attempt once again to set up my email...thanks again!! I appreciate your response....

goflo

I just selected EXCHANGE, and it's requesting a Certificate - which I either select INSTALL or just Cancel...

what is that?

goflo

OMG!!!!!!! it worked!!! I set up the email - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! I honestly can't believe it - I tried several times last night, and again this am........until I rec'd an email from Verizon, I decided to reach out to the Community...thanks so much!!!!!!!

I stick with the app. I don't know why you are getting a different pop up.

Momma23dogs

Momma23dogs

goflo

goflo
