Now look at Outlook on your computer:
- If your ribbon has a File option in the top left corner, then you're using a desktop version of Outlook and you're in the right place! See one of the procedures below.
- If your ribbon doesn't have a File option in the top left corner, you're not using a desktop version of Outlook.
