Did you connect the email account to Outlook?

In Outlook Mail, click on the gear in the upper right, choose Connected Accounts, and add an 'Other email accounts'. Depending on what email provider your Daddy is using, you might be able to just put in the name, email address, and password then hit OK. If that doesn't work, you'll have to select the Advanced Setting and input the necessary information. The information can usually be found by googling " [email provider] imap settings outlook".

You are also able to set up the email app that came with his smartphone with this information.

Depending on how his old email program was configured, you might want to make sure it isn't connected anymore once you get the Outlook account working correctly. There are different ways of fetching mail from an email provider; one way involves removing the mail from the provider's server making it unavailable to other email clients.

:toot:

You should be able to use POP3 with Outlook using the Advanced Settings, but if gmail works well enough then why bother?

Checked the outlook app, apparently there's no POP3 option. Huh!
