Getting Started
Outlook 2007/2010 on a Campus Managed Desktop / RAS and Outlook Web App (OWA) are the primary and preferred methods of access to your University mailbox.
NB. This document is intended for users who have a Campus Managed Desktop PC. It assumes that this is the first time you have run Outlook.
Click on your Start button
At the top of the menu select the E-mail / Microsoft Office Outlook icon
A wizard will appear that will guide you through the setup process to create your Outlook profile.
Your name and email address should automatically be found (if you are logged on to the PC with the account that you are trying to set up), click Next
The wizard should correctly:
- Establish a network connection
- Search for your server settings
- Log on to the server
Should you wish to manually configure any aspects of your Outlook profile (such as Outlook Anywhere), select the check box provided and click Next, otherwise click Finish.
Your Outlook profile will now complete and Outlook will open.
Note: It is advised that you use Outlook Web App (OWA) or Outlook on RAS when not at your main PC. By default, Outlook is configured to use Cached Exchange Mode. If hot-desking, in a computer cluster or trying to use Outlook on a computer that you don't regularly use, the server will try to cache a copy of your entire mailbox on the PC that you are using. This will typically take a long time.
