You may need to enter your Apple ID to download and install so have this to hand before you start. If you can't remember your Apple ID or password you can reset these here: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid

Tap on Get, then Install.  

Setting Up

Once the app is installed, open it and it will take you through the setup process. This will ask for your Office 365 email address and password so have this to hand.

Tap Get Started:

Enter your email address and tap Add Account:

You can now step though a short intro, or tap Skip:

You can turn off the Focused Inbox and other options by tapping on the Settings cog at the bottom of the Outlook screen:
