How to send and receive emails from your .cat domain via Outlook/Hotmail
Do you have a .cat domain and want to manage your emails directly from your Outlook/Hotmail account? In this guide we explain how to set it up step by step.
To configure it, you will need:
1. An active Outlook or Hotmail account and a Microsoft 365 personal or business subscription to be able to add more than one account.
2. An email account created with your .cat domain. You can create this account with your hosting provider, which is often the same as your registrar. If you haven’t created it yet, you can do so from your registrar’s control panel.
3. The connection details for this account: the SMTP server, the port and the password. You’ll find them in your registrar’s control panel, under the email section.
If you don’t know where to find these details: contact your registrar and ask for the SMTP configuration for your email account.
