Use these instructions if you are configuring Microsoft
Outlook 2003. These instructions are
used to configure computers that connect to the campus network.
To identify whether Outlook is installed on your
computer, look for the icon  or  Outlook
or Email
on your start menu or program files. If there is no icon
on the desktop, click
Start, select Programs, and locate Outlook
or Email in the menu. If Outlook does not appear
in these two places, you must use another program to send
and receive your mail.
- Start Outlook by double clicking on the
desktop icon or on the menu selection.
- Since Outlook has previously been setup Outlook does
not run the startup wizard. To configure Outlook correctly
we must click on Tools on the top menu and click E-mail
Accounts.

NOTE: Email applications such as Netscape Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird,
etc. have additional settings that will assist you in
automatically downloading new email to your PC. This
is referred to as
POP interval time. Always avoid setting POP Intervals
for less than 30 minutes. Automatically checking email
every
few minutes places a severe strain on the University's
mail server. Please avoid frequent POP intervals.
