Outlook Add Phone Number

1. Navigate to the Accounts section of Inbox in Mail. When you hover over it, an icon that looks like a book with a person on it is titled Accounts.

2. Select the accounts on which you want to use the Outlook Import Email Aliases tool, then click the Tools button and select Outlook Add Phone Number.

3. If you want emails to populate in the emails tab after your account is logged in, enable the Sync mail after login checkbox.

4. If you want to force re-login into the credentials before running the Outlook Import Email Aliases tool, enable the Force re-login credentials checkbox.

5. Select a Mail Task Template to use. The Mail Task Template is used if your accounts encounter 2FA codes that must be handled via IMAP. You can assign catchall/forwarded emails to your Mail Task Template. Click here to learn how to create a Mail Task Template.
