Setting up Outlook to Connect Directly to a Shared Mailbox
If you are launching Outlook for the first time on a PC, you will be prompted to set up an e-mail account. If you are not prompted with the account setup wizard, you can configure Email Accounts using the "Mail" applet, which is accessible from the Control Panel.
Instructions
- Access the "Add E-mail Accounts..." wizard from Outlook or by clicking on the "E-mail Accounts..." button from the Mail Applet in the Control Panel. Optionally, you may create a new Outlook profile from within the Mail Applet for the purpose of configuring Outlook to connect to a shared mailbox.
- Click the "Manually configure server settings or additional server types" checkbox in the lower-left corner of the wizard and click "Next>".
- Click the "Microsoft Exchange" radio button and click "Next >".
- Enter "exchange.colostate.edu" as the Exchange Server and the name of the shared mailbox as the User Name when prompted and click "Next>". Refer to example below:
- Click "Finish" to complete the wizard. Outlook (or a profile available to Outlook) is now configured to connect directly to the shared mailbox.
