Deseja configurar um endereço de e-mail profissional com a sua marca no Outlook?
O plano Microsoft 365 Business Premium permite que você use seu nome de domínio para criar um endereço de e-mail comercial usando o Outlook. Ele proporciona uma aparência mais profissional ao enviar e-mails, e você obtém recursos avançados, como proteção contra spam e melhor segurança.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como configurar um endereço de e-mail com marca personalizada no Outlook.
O que é um endereço de e-mail com uma marca profissional?
Um e-mail profissional contém o nome de sua empresa. Por exemplo, “support@yourdomain.com” é um endereço de e-mail profissional. Por outro lado, “yourdomain@yahoo.com” não é um endereço de e-mail profissional.
Há muitas maneiras de criar um endereço de e-mail profissional. Você pode usar o servidor de e-mail integrado que vem com a maioria das empresas de hospedagem WordPress.
Isso funcionará para a maioria dos sites iniciantes com um orçamento apertado. No entanto, carece de vários recursos essenciais, como melhor proteção contra spam e antivírus, segurança aprimorada, gerenciamento fácil de contas e muito mais.
Se você quiser os recursos avançados mencionados acima, precisará de um serviço profissional de e-mail comercial que funcione com seu nome comercial ou nome de domínio existente.
O que é o Outlook.com?
O Outlook é um serviço de e-mail oferecido pela Microsoft. Você pode criar uma conta gratuita em “yourname@outlook.com” para usar o serviço.
No entanto, se você quiser criar um endereço de e-mail com uma marca profissional com o Outlook.com, precisará se inscrever em uma conta do Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
É um serviço pago a partir de US$ 6,00 por usuário/mês. Ele inclui 1 TB de armazenamento do OneDrive e as versões mais recentes do Outlook, Word, Excel e PowerPoint para seu PC ou Mac.
Na WPBeginner, usamos e recomendamos o Workspace ou o G Suite by Google para endereços de e-mail comerciais porque eles são mais econômicos. Também preferimos o Google Cloud, pois nossa equipe está familiarizada com o Gmail e outros aplicativos do Google.
Para obter mais detalhes, você pode ver nossa comparação entre o G Suite e o Office 365 para saber como ele se compara ao Outlook.com.
Dito isso, vamos dar uma olhada em como criar um endereço de e-mail de marca personalizada com o Outlook.com.
Inscrição no Outlook Premium com o Microsoft 365
Primeiro, você precisa visitar o site do Microsoft 365 e se inscrever para a assinatura do “Microsoft 365 Business Premium”.
É a única assinatura que inclui suporte para domínios personalizados. Para começar, basta clicar no botão “Buy Now”.
Você terá que digitar seu endereço de e-mail na próxima etapa. Esse pode ser seu e-mail de trabalho ou da escola.
Depois de inserir o e-mail, clique no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Em seguida, ele verificará se o endereço já está associado a uma conta da Microsoft ou se você precisa criar uma nova conta.
Em seguida, você será solicitado a fornecer informações pessoais, como seu nome, número de telefone comercial, nome da empresa, tamanho da empresa e país.
Depois de inserir esses detalhes, clique no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Na próxima tela, você precisará verificar o número de telefone da sua empresa.
Você pode optar por receber uma mensagem de texto ou uma ligação telefônica para obter o código de verificação.
Após a verificação, você será solicitado a inserir uma senha e um nome de domínio.
Você pode clicar no botão “Next” quando terminar.
A partir daqui, você precisará selecionar o número de contas do Microsoft 365 Business Premium que deseja.
Depois disso, clique em “Add payment method” (Adicionar método de pagamento) para continuar.
A Microsoft agora solicitará que você selecione um método de pagamento, como um cartão de crédito.
Vá em frente e insira os detalhes de pagamento para concluir o processo de registro.
Depois disso, você chegará ao painel do Office 365.
Configuração do e-mail do Outlook com domínio personalizado
No painel, você verá diferentes ferramentas e aplicativos oferecidos pela Microsoft no pacote Office 365.
A barra lateral esquerda está repleta de atalhos para os vários serviços e aplicativos aos quais você tem acesso com sua assinatura.
Em seguida, você pode clicar na opção “Apps” no menu da barra lateral.
Agora, mais ferramentas aparecerão em Apps. Vá em frente e selecione a opção “Admin”.
Em seguida, você verá o “Centro de administração do Microsoft 365” na parte superior da página.
A partir daí, você pode selecionar a opção “Set up email with a custom domain” (Configurar e-mail com um domínio personalizado).
Depois disso, uma janela pop-up será aberta e você será solicitado a usar um domínio existente ou comprar um novo.
Basta clicar no botão “Usar um domínio que você já possui”.
Depois disso, um assistente de configuração será aberto para ajudá-lo a configurar um domínio personalizado com o Outlook.
A primeira etapa lhe dará uma visão geral das etapas que você precisa seguir. Vá em frente e clique no botão “Continue” (Continuar) na parte inferior.
Na próxima tela, será solicitado que você digite o nome de domínio que deseja configurar.
Depois de inserir o nome do domínio, clique no botão “Continue” (Continuar).
A Microsoft agora procurará seu nome de domínio.
Depois disso, ele solicitará que você verifique a propriedade adicionando informações às configurações de DNS do seu domínio.
Para fazer isso, é necessário abrir uma nova guia ou janela no navegador e acessar a página de configurações do seu domínio. Dependendo do registrador do seu domínio, essa página estará localizada na sua conta. Você precisa encontrar a opção de configurações de DNS.
Se o seu domínio for registrado pela sua empresa de hospedagem WordPress, você encontrará a configuração do domínio no painel do cPanel rotulada como “Zone Editor” ou “DNS Zone Editor”.
Observação: Se você for um usuário do SiteGround, não terá o cPanel. Você encontrará isso na seção Domain (Domínio ) do painel Site Tools (Ferramentas do site).
Para este tutorial, usaremos o painel de controle da Bluehost. Para começar, vá para Domains ” My Domains (Domínios ” Meus domínios ) no menu à esquerda. Em seguida, clique no menu suspenso “Manage” (Gerenciar) e selecione “DNS”.
Em seguida, você terá que rolar para baixo até a seção “TXT” nas configurações de DNS.
Vá em frente e clique no botão “Add Record” (Adicionar registro).
A partir daí, você precisará inserir os detalhes do TXT. Eles incluem o registro do host, o valor TXT e o tempo TTL.
Você pode encontrar facilmente essas informações na guia Microsoft Office 365.
Depois de adicionar os detalhes, clique no botão “Salvar”.
Ao adicionar um registro DNS, certifique-se de que as informações inseridas correspondem às informações exibidas pelo Office 365.
Em seguida, você precisa voltar ao portal de administração do Microsoft Office 365 e clicar no botão verificar.
O Office 365 agora verificará os registros de DNS para confirmar que você é o proprietário do nome de domínio. A verificação de DNS pode levar de 5 a 10 minutos porque, às vezes, suas configurações de DNS não serão atualizadas imediatamente.
Após a verificação, você será solicitado a definir seu novo endereço de e-mail com a marca. Feito isso, basta clicar no botão “Update and sign out” (Atualizar e sair).
Em seguida, você precisará fazer login novamente usando o novo endereço de e-mail com a marca que acabou de adicionar.
Uma vez conectado, você verá mais registros para adicionar ao seu domínio e se conectar ao e-mail do Outlook.
A troca de e-mails precisa de três registros DNS para trabalhar, incluindo um registro MX, um registro CNAME e um registro TXT.
Mais uma vez, será necessário acessar a página de configurações de DNS do seu domínio e adicionar esses registros individualmente.
Primeiro, você tem um registro MX, que fornece instruções sobre onde entregar as mensagens de e-mail. No Bluehost, vá para as configurações de DNS do seu site e adicione um novo registro MX.
Se o seu site já tiver um registro MX, ele será substituído por esse. Isso garante que você possa usar os servidores de e-mail do Outlook para enviar e receber e-mails do endereço de e-mail do seu domínio personalizado.
Depois disso, você tem um registro TXT, que ajuda a evitar que alguém falsifique seu e-mail para enviar spam.
Por fim, você tem um registro CNAME, que permite que softwares como o Outlook descubram e se conectem ao serviço de e-mail.
Basta adicionar um novo registro CNAME no Bluehost e inserir os detalhes no painel da Microsoft.
Depois de inserir todos os registros DNS, volte para a guia Microsoft Office 365 e clique no botão “Connect email” (Conectar e-mail).
O Office 365 agora verificará as configurações de DNS do seu domínio. Observe que pode levar de 24 a 48 horas para que os registros TXT sejam verificados.
Quando tudo estiver certo, você chegará ao final da configuração.
Na última etapa, você verá um resumo da sua configuração. Vá em frente e feche o assistente de configuração.
Pronto! Você configurou com êxito seu nome de domínio para funcionar com o Outlook.
Adição de endereço de e-mail com marca personalizada no Outlook
Agora você está pronto para criar endereços de e-mail de domínio personalizado usando o Outlook.
No painel do Office 365, vá para Usuários ” Usuários ativos.
Em seguida, você verá uma lista dos seus usuários ativos.
Vá em frente e clique na opção “Add a user” (Adicionar um usuário).
Na tela seguinte, é necessário fornecer as informações pessoais do usuário e, em seguida, escolher um endereço de e-mail.
Depois de inserir os detalhes, basta clicar no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Em seguida, será necessário selecionar uma localização geográfica para o usuário e atribuir uma licença de produto.
No plano Microsoft 365 Business Premium, você pode atribuir até 25 licenças. Quando terminar, basta clicar no botão “Next” (Avançar).
A Microsoft também oferece configurações adicionais para novos perfis de usuário.
Por exemplo, você pode selecionar uma função de usuário e conceder acesso ao Admin Center. Há também uma opção para adicionar informações de perfil, como cargo, departamento, escritório e muito mais.
Essas configurações são opcionais e você também pode deixá-las em branco. Quando terminar, basta clicar no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Por fim, você verá um resumo do novo usuário que acabou de adicionar. Você pode revisar os detalhes, fazer as alterações necessárias e, em seguida, clicar no botão “Finish adding” (Concluir adição).
Você adicionou com êxito um novo usuário e criou um endereço de e-mail com marca no Outlook.
Agora você pode fazer login usando o endereço de e-mail e a senha que criou na etapa anterior para usar seu novo e-mail com marca profissional no Outlook.
Você também pode instalar os aplicativos do Office 365 em seu Mac e PC, incluindo o Outlook. Isso permitirá que você use seu endereço de e-mail comercial com a marca Microsoft Outlook com acesso off-line por meio do aplicativo Outlook.

Hi,
I am trying to setup emails for my domain. This tutorial is really helping me since I am a non technical person. I have set up my live account and I am getting a message ‘You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below’.
When contacted a person where I have hosted my site, he is saying that the settings displayed here are for CPANEL and my sited is on DreamHost. DreamHost has its own CPANEL and that doesn’t support entries like ‘Priority: 10 (or High priority)’ etc.
Can you please guide us to take this forward.
Thanks,
Ankush
WPBeginner Support says
Ankush dreamhost does support A records and Max records. For records ask the person managing your account to go to Mail » Custom MX in Dreamhost Panel. As for A or TXT records go to Domains and then click on DNS.

Guys the New UI of outlook is tooooo slow. While loading it makes my PC also slow. Outllook can compete Gmail but will loss badly only due to his loading speed.
Jon Adams says
Check your computer. Due to the new Gmail compose debacle, I have been testing Outlook.com for the past few months in case Google makes the change permanent and mandatory. The only reason I don’t make the switch now is six years of company emails in twenty accounts. Not to mention everything that lives in Google Drive.
The Outlook UI is vastly superior to Gmail even without consideration of the new compose.

But now i planned to migrating my domain from godaddy to a Blue Host (i came to know about the cheapest and best service of this host by reading your site), what should i do so the emails will not be deleted and users can continue using the same mails.
Pls give me clarification thru email or on you blog. It will be very helpful for me and all others.

Guys,
Be careful when trying to create a “professional” email account that uses your domain; particularly when using Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail…. It will send your email to the recipient, on receipt of your email the recipient will see “hotmail [a random number]@live.com ON BEHALF OF yourname@yourdomain,com”. This is not professional at all. Its actually less embarrassing than using a regular free @hotmail.com.
O, and Microsoft has no plans to correct this! I’ve tried several forums and made multiple requests.
All the best.
Ed Fishman says
This isn’t true as far as I can tell. I have a couple of domains that use Outlook.com and all of them send as the actual sender. No ‘On Behalf Of’ appears anywhere – either in From: or even hidden in the message headers.
Now that Google isn’t offering a free version of Google Apps, Outlook.com is still your best bet for setting up a free, non-pop, e-mail system that can use your own domain.
Ed
Verna says
Are u sure about this, does yourname@yourdomain.com not appear in the recipient mail?
Glenn F says
Thanks for posting this Mohamed. There is no way I plan on using this now.
Joshua Caluette says
If you follow the directions and confirm that your DNS is configured properly and you are not sending your email through your live account as an alias of your professional domain, then this does not happen. I have mine setup and it works just fine. I have seen similar issues on Google Apps as well, but it is always due to mis-configuration.
Marco says
I need a catch all alias to be sure to receive all the email adressess i used in the past…. How do i setup a catch-all with live domains? Can’t find it.
lmcpa says
When switching from a paid hosted version with godaddy is there a way to save or move emails from the godaddy service to this free outlook.com setup?

Not entirely sure about that. Perhaps asking Godaddy would be best. Usually it is hard.

Hi, I am following the instructions but when i get to the screen that will give you a choice to either use an existing Microsoft account to administer this domain or create a new Microsoft account on your own domain name, e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com.

My problem is this:
Step 2: Setting up DNS MX Records to use Outlook.com
After the registration, you will reach Windows Live Admin Center’s domain control page and it will be showing MX and TXT record strings which you need to add to your DNS settings.
After the registration, it did not take me to any such page.
Noumaan Yaqoob says
@Scott: you can find those strings by going to Your domains click on YourDomain.com and then click on Domain Settings link in the left sidebar.
If that doesn’t work, check the email you provided during registration for an activation email.
Scott says
OK. Now I was working with the support people on hostgator to try and figure out this tutorial between the two of us. The support person at hostgator showed me where to put all the codelines from the Windows Live Admin Center. Their chat support allowed him to tell me exactly where to copy and paste the lines of code, and where to paste them.
So…….On to step 3. According to your tutorial, The Windows Live Admin Center should say, “Your service is active” after 48 hours. I obligingly waited the 48 hours, logged in again, and it still was inactive, so I saw that the Windows support says it can take 72 hours. Now a week later I log in, and all it says is: “Your service is Suspended. Please make the required DNS changes.” I was never able to get the thing to the point where it says, “Your service is active.”
So, please kindly tell me what’s going on.
Rudy says
When I click on mydomain.com in the YourDomains area, I’m just brought back to the YourDomains area again. It doesn’t go to a page that gives me the settings, etc.

Syed,
This is a great article and one work really investigating. I was disappointed to see Google do away with the free version of their Google Apps for Business. I had not yet really looked into Outlook.com, but will certainly have to try this out so I can best recommend options to my clients. Thanks for bringing this to light!
Ed
Damien Carbery says
I take a simpler method – just set up a forwarder in the hosting control panel. In my client’s existing free email account (Yahoo/Gmail/Hotmail) I add the new account I want to send email as. This sends a verification email which, due to the forwarder, arrives in the existing inbox.
An advantage of Yahoo/Gmail/Hotmail is that they are built in account types in iOS. You can select the From address on your iOS device. I will admit that you are not using your hosting company email servers.
Editorial Staff says
That is one way of doing it, and we have already shown that method a long time ago. Sometimes, when using that it ends up revealing your “real email” that you were sending it from. Even though you can mask it so it can be sent from yourname@domain.com, it will show sent from you@gmail.com

@Haseeb Ahmad Ayazi : Outlook allows you to create up to 500 accounts on one domain name. However, if you reach that limit and you need more free email accounts on your domain then you can contact support to extend your free accounts limit.
@Raheem Khan: I would recommend that you stick with Google Apps and try outlook.com separately by creating a yourname@outlook.com account. That way you can decide which one you like better.
Haseeb Ahmad Ayazi says
You! There must be a comparison. How much accounts are allowed in free version?
