Add account is greyed out on Outlook.....

Add account is greyed out on Outlook when trying to add an IMAP account on MacBook Air.

I select IMAP, I can add my email address ok, I then enter my password, all the settings as as IONOS tell me they should be but the 'add account' tab remains greased out and I cannot work out how to fix this.

This is an IONOS webmail account I am trying to add. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Hello CEVA25,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It's our understanding that you're unable to add an email account to your MacBook Air. You've come to the right place! We're happy to look into this with you.


If you're receiving an error that the password is incorrect, the steps in the following resource can help:

If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password


If you there's no error and you're just unable to add the account, try adding the account while in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Let us know the results. Be sure to include specific error messages and any other troubleshooting steps that you may have tried.


Have a nice day!
