Other Method

  • Use phone/tablet settings

    Please note that the IMAP options have been removed from this page. Due to the sunsetting of the IMAP protocol by Microsoft, Lamar has stopped supporting this process.

    Subsequently, we still recommend using the Outlook app for your Lamar mail.

    1. Tap Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add account
    2. In the Add Account page, tap Microsoft Exchange.
