Quick-connect procedure for advanced users only:

If you do not need the complete instruction details and are comfortable setting up a new account in Outlook 2007 and/or a Windows mail profile, the minimum settings that are required are as follows:

Microsoft Exchange Server: arborexch01.utorarbor.utorad.utoronto.ca
More Settings -> Connection -> Exchange Proxy Settings:
        Proxy Connection Settings: autodiscover.utoronto.ca

Configure Outlook for Exchange

 

Your email account configuration settings are stored in a profile. Your profile can include an Exchange server account, Internet mail accounts and personal folders. If several people share the use of a computer, each must have their own Outlook profile on that computer.

Whether you already use Outlook to access your email, or are setting it up for the first time, you will need to set up an Exchange account profile. If you are already using Outlook, we recommend you set up a separate profile for your Exchange account and keep your IMAP profile as an archive.

  1. Close Outlook if you have it open.
  2. Open the Microsoft Office Profile Manager:
    • In Vista, go to the Control Panel and type Mail into the search box (see a in the image below). Select the Mail applet (see b in the image below).

    • In Windows XP, go to Start / Settings, and choose Control Panel. In Classic View, double-click the Mail icon.
  3. Click Show profiles (if you don’t have a profile already set up, you won’t see this window. Proceed to step 4).
