The Office 365 Business Plan plan does not include Office 365 email or Skype for Business. In these setup steps, we show you how to add your existing email account (such as Gmail) to Outlook.
1. Create Office 365 accounts and add your domain
In this step, you use the Setup wizard to create accounts and add your own domain. The wizard lets you personalize everyone’s user ID and email for your business, like admin365@yourdomain.com.
Click here to go to the
Office 365 admin center.
To start the wizard, choose Go to setup and follow this guide Office 365 Admin Set Up using Setup Wizard

2. Install Office
Once you’ve created accounts for other people in your business, you and your team members will be able to install the full desktop version of Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.). Each person can install Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs.

2. Choose Mail.
3. On the Outlook navigation bar, select Settings > Options.
4. In the left pane, choose Mail, and under Accounts, choose Connected accounts.
Not all features are available in every region. If you don’t see the Connected accounts option, this feature may not be available for your account.
5. On the Connect your email account page, enter your full email address, such as admin365@mondoze.com, and the password of the email account you want to connect to Outlook.
6. Choose OK.
IMPORTANT: If you get a message that Outlook couldn’t connect to the server for your other account, choose Back and make sure you entered the correct email address and password for your account. Typos are really common!
