If you're adding a new account, select the type of account to add, and then choose Next.

To ensure that e-mail services don't overlap, Outlook might not allow you to add more than one new account for the same type of service. For example, Outlook verifies that all POP accounts have unique names. The following table shows how Outlook determines whether a new account of the same type as an existing account can be added to the Setup customization file.
