As most of you know I have been working on moving our mail server to new hardware. The process is complete but there are a few changes with the way it has been implemented.
When you log into your web mail you will now see the logon page below. You will still enter your user name and password as you always have. The additional settings below are just added features that will modify how your browser interacts with the mail server. Under client you have Premium and Basic. Premium means you will get all the
bells and whistles in your email. Basic is a stripped down feature set of the web interface intended to be low bandwidth for people who do not have high speed connections. The security setting will only determine how long your session will last. If you select Public or shared computer your log in will only last 15 minutes. This is designed to protect your email if you forget to log out and are accessing it on a machine that is also accessible to others. If you set it to Private it will leave the session open for 24 hours or until you log out.
Also when you come to school for the first time you will notice that your Outlook will not connect. This is because it was initially set up to ask the old server (which is no longer there) for your email. Fortunately the fix is easy (Make sure you exit Outlook before you begin).
1.) Navigate to start --> control panel --> mail

2.) Select Data Files
3.) Click Add --> click OK --> click OK --> click OK (finished image below)

8.) Once the new account is finished close out of every thing in the control panel and launch Outlook
9.) Your mail should begin to populate
10.) In Outlook navigate to Tools --> Account Settings --> Data Files tab
11.) Select the personal folders option and the select remove.
12.) Finished!!! If you have any problems, please contact the helpdesk ext. 289 or 388-2289.
