Changing Outlook configuration to receive emails outside UAE

If you are travelling outside the UAE and need to continue accessing your emails via Outlook Email Client, you may need to change the configuration as follows:

Outlook Email client (EIM):

1- Change setting: tools -> email accounts -> view or change existing e-mail accounts.

2- Change the email server

3- Set outgoing mail server (SMTP) to exmail.emirates.net.ae

4- Under more setting, select Outgoing Server tab

5- Check ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'

6- Select ‘Use same setting as my incoming mail server.’

Email works everywhere in and out of UAE. Therefore customer can keep the same in UAE

  4. @Anonymous There are a few options for you:

    1. Type * 120 * Prepaid Calling Card Number # Followed by Send key.

    2. By using the Etisalat Online Services website www.etisalat.ae/onlinewith a UAE credit card if you are registered on the website.

    3. Your family or friend can transfer credit from an Etisalat GSM
    prepaid or postpaid in UAE by using the Credit Transfer Service
    *100*+97150XXXXXXX*100# send key
    (Minimum amount in one day is AED 5 and Maximum is 100)

    4. Paying at the Etisalat Cash machine or at the cashier for your
    Etisalat GSM Prepaid (Wasel) number.
