# Native Outlook Setup
For users with our **OEX mailboxes**, setting up Outlook is a fast, automated process because OEX is engineered for **native Outlook connectivity**.

## Pre-requisites
Before you begin, ensure your domain is properly configured to allow Outlook to "talk" to our servers automatically:
- **Autodiscover DNS Record:** You must have the **Autodiscover** CNAME record set up in your [domain's DNS settings](https://wikidev.emailarray.com/books/1-configure-a-new-e-mail-address-getting-started/page/dns-configuration).
- **Verification:** You can verify this in your **Admin Panel** under **Domains** -> **Health Status**. The "Autodiscover" and "Autodiscover SSL" status should be **Enabled**.

## Steps to Add Your Account
Once your DNS is ready, Outlook handles the rest of the heavy lifting.
1. **Open Outlook:** Launch the Outlook application on your computer.
2. **Add Account:** Go to **File** > **Add Account**.
3. **Enter Credentials:**
- **Email Address:** Enter your full email address
- **Password:** Enter your mailbox password.
4. **Automatic Detection:** Outlook will use the Autodiscover record to automatically find the server names and configure your profile.
5. **Finish:** Click **Done** or **Finish** once the success message appears.
For **manual setup** please use **oex1.emailarray.com** for the server name.
