Desktop installation

You can access Outlook both via the web browser or also via the already installed desktop app.

To do this, you just have to register the Outlook app in the Start menu and register there with your ID.

Activate or deactivate the Cached Exchange Mode.

If you’re using Cached Exchange Mode, an e-mail message can remain in outgoing mail for up to one minute, until the next synchronisation is made with the server on which the exchange is executed. To provide the optimal use of Outlook, we ask that you deactivate Cached Exchange Mode.

Step 1:

As a first step, click on the tab 'File'.

Step 2:

Then select 'Account Settings', then select 'Account Settings' again.

Step 3:

A window will appear. If your Outlook account isn’t selected automatically, click on it and then on 'Change'.

Step 4:

An additional window with your settings will open. It will give you the option to set or remove the tick next to Cached Exchange Mode. Please remove it. To finish, click 'Next'.

Step 5:

As a final step, you’ll need to restart. Restart your device.
