Autodiscover Note: Outlook for Mac utilizes the built-in Exchange Autodiscover service to configure your profile automatically.

Already use Outlook? If your workspace interface is already established, navigate to the top global control bar and select Tools → Accounts. If a system prompt asks to reference a keychain access script array, click Always Allow.
