Set up your computer - UBmail (Exchange Online)

1.  Open Outlook.

• If the Microsoft Outlook Startup wizard displays automatically, on the first page of the wizard click Next. Then, on the E-mail Accounts page of the wizard, click Next again to set up an email account.
  
• If the Microsoft Outlook Startup wizard doesn't appear, on the Outlook toolbar click the File tab. Then, just above the Account Settings button, click Add Account.
  

2.  On the Auto Account Setup page, enter:

• Your first and last name as you want it to appear on email messages you send.
• Your email address (your UBITName@buffalo.edu)

3.  Click Next on the Auto Account Setup page of the wizard.

4. Outlook performs an autodiscover to find your Exchange email server settings. Click Allow.

5.  You may be required to log on to the Exchange server once your mailbox is discovered (Windows Security Prompt). If so, enter your UB Email address in the User name field, then enter your UBITName password in the Password field. Check the box next to Remember My Credentials, and click OK.

6.  If Outlook is able to set up your account, you'll see the following: Your e-mail account is successfully configured. Click Finish.

Winmail.dat attachments cannot be read by most other email clients, including Outlook for Macintosh. Set Outlook to send messages in HTML format instead:

1. Select File > Options > Mail and then scroll to the bottom of the Message Format dialog.
2. Select Convert to HTML format.
3. Click OK.
   

Meeting requests or voting buttons may not work with this setting, but you can override the format on select messages.
