Open Outlook 2016 and click on ‘File’ and then select ‘Add Account’.

Choose 'Advanced options' and tic the box 'Let me set up my account manually' and add your mailbox.org e-mail address:

Your account should have been configured automatically.

The lower field for adding an additional account is not relevant for the usage of mailbox.org and can typically be ignored.
