Configure Outlook for Live Mail
- Close Outlook 2007.
- In Control Panel, open Mail.
- In Windows XP:
- Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- Click User Accounts, and then click Mai
Note: In Classic view, double-click Mail. The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook 2007 installed and have run the program at least one time
- In Windows Vista:
- Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- In the 32-bit edition of Windows Vista, click User Accounts (or User Accounts and Family Safety), and then click Mail. In the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista, select Additional Options, click View 32-bit Control Panel Items, and then double-click Mail
Note: In Classic view, double-click Mail. The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook 2007 installed and have run the program at least one time.
- In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles.
- Click Add.
- Type a name for the profile, and then click OK.
Note: As a best practice, give the profile a name that identifies it as an Exchange Labs profile.
The Add New E-mail Account wizard opens. - In the Auto Account Setup dialog box, enter your name, e-mail address, and password in the appropriate fields, and then click Next.
- Outlook will display a message that asks you to allow a Web site to configure the Outlook settings. Outlook runs auto-configure periodically.
If you don't want to see this message every time auto-configure runs, select Don't ask me about this website again, and then click Allow.
Outlook will auto-configure the account. You will be asked for your username and password before Outlook can connect to Exchange Labs. Make sure that you enter your full e-mail address (like tony.smith@live.longwood.edu) as your username. You may be prompted to enter your username and password multiple times before you can connect.
