I. Introduction

This guide explains how to set up Microsoft Outlook 2007 to access your Temple e-mail. Unlike a web-based e-mail program, such as Temple's TUmail web site, you must configure Outlook before you can use it.

You don't have to use Outlook exclusively as your e-mail program. If, for example, you are away from your computer, you can still access your e-mail using Temple's TUmail web site.

II. Setting Up Outlook 2007 to Access TUmail

1. To start Outlook, click on Start and then select All Programs or Programs and then Microsoft Outlook.

2. Click on the Tools menu and select Account Settings.

3. In the Account Settings window, make sure the E-mail tab is selected. Then, click on New.

4. In the Auto Account Setup window, click on Manually configure server settings or additional server types. Then, click on Next.

5. In the Choose E-mail Service window, select Internet E-mail. Then, click on Next.

6. In the Internet E-mail Settings window:

a) In the Your Name box, type your name as you would like it to appear on the Internet.

b) In the E-mail Address box, type your TUmail e-mail address (either the true address or an alias). For example, tub55555@temple.edu or john.doe@temple.edu.

c) In the Account Type box, select IMAP.

d) In the Incoming mail server box, type: imap.temple.edu

e) In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type: smtpauth.temple.edu

f) In the User Name box, verify that your AccessNet username appears. If not, type your AccessNet username.

g) In the Password box, type your AccessNet password.

h) By default, the Remember password box is checked so you don't have to type your password every time you start Outlook. Be aware, however, that anyone who uses your computer will then be able to access your e-mail account. If privacy is an issue, click on Remember password to uncheck this box.

Note: Do not select Require logon using Secure Password Authentiation (SPA).

7. Click on More Settings.

8. In the Internet E-mail Settings window, make sure the General tab appears.

Outlook automatically assigns your e-mail address as the name for your account. If you wish, you can enter another name in the Mail Account box, such as TUmail or Temple mail.

9. Click on the Outgoing Server tab. Then, click on My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.

The Use same settings as my my incoming mail server option should also be selected.

10. Click on the Advanced tab. Then perform the following:

a) Under Incoming server (IMAP), select Auto next to Use the following type of encrypted connection.

b) Under Outgoing server (SMTP), select Auto next to Use the following type of encrypted connection.

c) Click on OK.

11. Back on the Internet E-mail Settings window, click on Test Account Settings.

12. If your account is working properly, a congratulations message will appear. Click on Close.

13. In the Internet E-mail Settings window, click on Next.

14. At the Congratulations window, click on Finish.

15. On the E-mail Accounts window, click on Close.

16. Outlook will start downloading all your e-mail folders and headers. You may see a test message in your TUmail Inbox from Outlook itself. You can delete this message.

III. Specifying Your Sent Mail Folder

1. Click on Tools and select Account Settings.

2. In the E-mail Accounts window, highlight your TUmail account. Then, click on Change.

3. In the Internet E-mail Settings window, click on More Settings.

4. In the Internet E-mail Settings window, click on the Folders tab. Then, perform the following:

a) Select Choose an existing folder or create a new folder to save your sent items for this account in.

b) Browse to your TUmail Sent folder.

c) Click on this folder.

d) Click on OK.

5. In the Internet E-mail Settings window, click on Next.

6. In the Congratulations window, click on Finish.
