Aruba webmail allows you to access your mailbox data from any device as long as you have internet connectivity. Remember Gmail? Yes, it’s like that, Just Aruba style!
With Aruba webmail, you can access your @aruba.it, @pec.it, @technet.it, and other accounts connected with Aruba domain. You can even set up this account on desktop email clients to manage emails on your desktop even offline.

How to Import Aruba Mailbox to Outlook
In this method, we need the Aruba MBOX files that you can get after exporting mailbox from Aruba webmail. Then, we need to find ways to transfer these mailboxes into Outlook.
Aruba webmail exports its data in MBOX format. Although multiple email platforms like Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc. supports MBOX, MS Outlook is an exception. It works with PST file format and provides a built-in option to import PST files.
So, we will first convert Aruba mailbox to PST, then import it in Outlook.
Step 1: Convert Aruba mailbox to PST
- Download and run MBOX file to PST Converter on your machine.
- Click Add File to add multiple Aruba mailboxes into the software.
- Then, the tool will give a preview of the emails.
- Select PST and finish converting Aruba emails to PST format.
Step 2: Import PST into Outlook
- Open MS Outlook, click on File menu.
- Select Open & Export option, then click on Import/Export option.
- Now, select Import from a file or program and then, click Next button.
- Then, select Outlook data file (.pst), and click Next button.
- Browse the PST file and then, select the account where you wish to import Aruba emails.
- Then, click Finish button.
Finally, you have all the Aruba emails inside your Outlook account. You can choose to view and work with these messages as required.
How to Configure Aruba Webmail in Outlook
Here are two options to choose from during the configuration process:
- IMAP – synchronize data between Aruba Mail & MS Outlook
- POP – downloads emails from Aruba Inbox
We prefer IMAP.
Let us first take a look at some of the settings you will require during configuration.
Configuration Settings for Aruba Mail
These settings are valid for all email accounts like [email protected].
| Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) imaps.aruba.it | Port: 993 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Yes |
| Incoming Mail Server (POP3) pop3s.aruba.it | Port: 995 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Yes |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) smtps.aruba.it | Port: 465 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Yes |
Configuration Settings for Aruba PEC
These settings are valid for all email accounts like @pec.it, @pec.cloud, @arubapec.it, @mypec.eu, @gigapec.it, @casellapec.com, @pecditta.com, @pec.domainname.xxx.
| Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) imaps.pec.aruba.it | Port: 993 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Password |
| Incoming Mail Server (POP3) pop3s.pec.aruba.it | Port: 995 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Password |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) smtps.pec.aruba.it | Port: 465 Require SSL: Yes Authentication: Password |

Troubleshooting Sync Issue
If the configuration settings are not working and there is a problem with the password, you can try and use an app password for Outlook.
To do this;
- Go to Aruba webmail account home screen, then Global Settings, then Users & Roles.
- Go to Actions menu, then, enable two-factor authentication(2FA).
- Then, proceed to create an App Password.
- After that, use this password to login from MS Outlook with other settings same as above.
