The PreVeil integration currently does not work in the new Outlook interface, so we recommend that you remain on the current version of Outlook if you wish to integrate PreVeil with your Outlook client.

Prior to configuring Outlook, please access your PreVeil account in a browser, click on Settings, then Add to Mail Client, then scroll down and click on the Click here for instructions to manually add PreVeil to other email programs (Outlook on Mac, etc.) This page will have information you’ll need on some of the configuration steps below.

  • On the computer that you want to integrate PreVeil Mail with Outlook, go to the Control Panel, and then select the Mail option.

(Note: In this example it’s called Mail (Microsoft Outlook), but this option may have a slightly different name depending on the version of Outlook installed on your system.)
