Step 1: Install Outlook for Windows from the Microsoft store, then open the app.

Step 2: Microsoft will attempt to discover your email address. If the app doesn’t automatically find the correct address, enter your email address in the suggested accounts field, then click Continue. If you've already used the new Outlook for another account, click the gear icon at the top of the app and choose Add Account.

Step 3: Enter your IMAP password, then select the Show More toggle button to verify the automatically detected settings are correct, then click Continue. Server address should be mail.invisibleink.com and your username is your full email address, all lowercase.

Step 4: Click Continue again to Sync your IMAP account to Microsoft Cloud. This appears to be a required step with New Outlook.

Step 5: Review privacy settings, then click Next.

Step 6: Select your data sharing preference with Microsoft (No is recommended)

Step 7-8: Review privacy settings then choose Apply Now to customize the look of your Outlook inbox, or Skip to continue.

Step 9: Microsoft will finalize the setup of your new mailbox and you should be automatically redirected to the inbox to start using your account.
