Choose Add

Give the new profile an appropriate name, different from the existing one.

Click OK

 

 

 

 

 

 

This should then take you through the new Outlook profile wizard.  The version of Outlook showing will depend on what is installed on your device.

Fill in your details when prompted.

 

 

Choose Finish to return to the Profiles screen.  This should now list the existing one plus the newly created one.

 

Pick from the options to “Always use this profile” (choose which one from the drop down menu) or “Prompt for a profile to be used”

If you choose to prompt for a profile then you need to choose a profile to use each time you open Outlook
