Follow these instructions to add your UCI Gmail account to Microsoft Outlook for Mac. NOTE: You must run a current version (Outlook 365, Outlook 2021, or Outlook 2019) which supports Modern Authentication/OAuth2. Outlook 2016 volume licensed version with Windows Installer (MSI) does not support OAuth2. If you're running 2016 and are unable to add your account, you must upgrade to a newer version.

NOTE: During the setup you may see an offer to sync your UCI Gmail, contacts, and calendar to the Microsoft Cloud for a 'better experience'. This is optional and OIT is neither recommending nor discouraging the service. There is a link to a Microsoft web page with more information about this service.

    1. From the Tools menu, select Accounts.
    2. Select the Add Email Account button OR select the + sign in the bottom left and choose New Account...
    3. Enter your email address in the format UCInetID@uci.edu and select Continue.
    4. On the next screen, it should say Not Google? in the top right corner. If it doesn't, select that phrase Not Google? and on the next screen select the Google icon.
    5. A Google popup window will appear. Select your email address and sign in normally.
    6. The next window to appear will ask you to allow Microsoft Outlook to access your Google account. Scroll down and select Allow.
    7. You may see a popup window. Select the Open Microsoft Outlook button.
    8. Select Done.
