Hello @IniobongNkanga-8038 ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform!

I'd be happy to help you set up Microsoft 365 to work with your domain and get your emails in Outlook. Here are the general steps you would need to follow:

1.Add Your Domain to Microsoft 365:

   - Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.

   - Under "Setup," choose "Domain."

   - Click on "Add domain" and follow the prompts to add your domain.

2.Verify Your Domain:

   - You'll be given a TXT record to add to your domain's DNS settings. This step verifies that you own the domain.

   - Log in to your domain registrar's website (where you purchased your domain) and add the TXT record to your DNS settings.

   - Once added, go back to the Microsoft 365 admin center and verify the domain.

 3.Set Up DNS Records:

   - After your domain is verified, you'll need to set up additional DNS records (MX, CNAME, and possibly others) to route email and other services through Microsoft 365.

   - Microsoft 365 will provide you with the necessary records. Add these to your domain's DNS settings.

 4.Create Email Accounts:

   - In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to "Users" > "Active users" and add the email accounts you need.

   - Assign the users to your domain.

 5.Configure Outlook:

   - Download and install the Outlook application if you haven't already.

   - Open Outlook and go to "File" > "Add Account."

   - Enter the email address and password for the account you've set up and follow the prompts to complete the setup.

 6.Test Your Setup:

   - Send a test email to make sure everything is working correctly.

   - Check that incoming and outgoing emails are properly routed through your Microsoft 365 account.
