Outlook will now test your account settings. Once it has succeeded, simply click Close from the test window and then Finish to complete the process.

For proper synchronization, it may be necessary with Outlook 2013 to create a few additional folders.

First, look at the folders that appear beneath your new IMAP XMission account heading. If you do not see any of the following folders, you will need to manually create them.

  • Archives
  • Drafts
  • Sent
  • Junk
  • Trash

To add any of these folders, simply right-click anywhere beneath the heading for your new IMAP account and select New Folder.
