Reinstalling Outlook on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you experiencing issues with your Microsoft 365 installation on your Mac? If so, reinstalling Outlook might be the solution you need. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of reinstalling Outlook on your Mac.

Before you start, make sure that your computer meets the system requirements for installing Microsoft 365. You can find a list of supported systems on the system requirements page.

If your install won't be successful due to an unsupported operating system, don't worry! You can still use the free Office Online apps using your desktop browser. For example, you can access Outlook through the web version.

To reinstall Outlook, follow these steps:

1. Go to Finder > Applications and open the Office app you want.

2. Click on the Launchpad icon in the Dock to display all of your apps.

3. Click on the Microsoft Word icon in the Launchpad.

4. If prompted, enter your Mac login password and then click Install Software.

After installation, launch an Microsoft 365 for Mac app and start the activation process. You may need to enter your product key or sign in with your work or school account if you have one.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to reinstall Outlook on your Mac. If you encounter any issues during the process, feel free to reach out to Microsoft support for assistance.

Remember to check your product key or account status if you're unsure about the installation process. You can find more information in our article What Microsoft 365 business product or license do I have? or if you're a Microsoft 365 admin, see Assign licenses to users.
