| E-mail profiles are what Outlook (or other client) uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information: What account information to use: This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password. Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored: In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings.
|
| Info |

| Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry. |

| title | Create New Profile - Outlook |
|---|
| | Info |
|---|
| - Exit Outlook completely
- Click Windows Start button and type in "Control Panel" in the Search Bar (at the 'magnifying glass icon').
- Click on Control Panel in the Start Menu search results to open it.
- In the top right corner of the Control Panel window, you will see a search bar ('magnifying glass icon'). Type in "Mail" and when your search results display in the window, click on on Mail (32-bit).
- A small 'Mail Setup' window will open. Click on Show Profiles>Add (You should see at least one profile in the list if you already have email setup in Outlook - for most of you the default profile is named 'Outlook').
- A new dialogue box will open. If you are logging into the computer with your EID and EID Password, your information should auto populate. If it does not:
- At 'Your Name' type in: "EID" as the new Profile name
- Type in firstname.lastname@mccombs.utexas.edu in the provided blank and nothing else.
- At 'Password' enter your EID password.
- At 'Retype Password' enter your EID password again and then click Next
- This process could take a few minutes while it's searching for you email settings.
- A new dialogue box may open. Your firstname.lastname@mccombs.utexas.edu will populate the top box. Re-enter your EID Password immediately below it.
- Select the 'Remember my credentials' check box and the click OK
- Another dialogue box may open, asking to "Allow this website to configure @mccombs.utexas.edu server settings". Click Allow.
- You should see three green check marks if it successfully configured the account.
- Under "When starting Microsoft Outlook, use this profile", select "Prompt for a profile to be used". Click OK.
- Open Outlook and it will begin the process to setup the new mailbox. This may take a few minutes.
- If this process goes over 10 minutes, close the small Outlook launch window (top right X). Reopen Outlook again.
- Outlook should fully open and start syncing your mailbox with the Exchange server. This will take some time and can take up to a couple of hours for large, complex mailboxes.
- Outlook will need to remain open to continue this sync process. If near the end of the day, keep Outlook open and don't log off, sleep or shut down, just lock your workstation (Windows key + L). If you do close Outlook, it will resume syncing on next launch.
- If you aren't seeing all of your e-mail, click here and follow the steps to adjust how much email is cached to the computer (instead of Outlook needing network access and to be told to retrieve older email). By default, Cached Exchange Mode is turned on and set to 12 months. If it is not, put a check mark next to it and change the slider to ALL.
- Congratulations! You have configured your new mail account. Please let it fully sync (status at the bottom of Outlook) and make sure it all looks good. Check calendar and contacts as well. Follow the steps provided on the Wiki for rules and additional mailboxes.
- If "All folders are up to date" displays at the bottom of Outlook and you are missing email or other items, please contact Tech Support or 232-6616 for further assistance.
