MS Outlook Email Primer   College of Education Office of Information Technology Purdue University

 

For those users who wish to use Microsoft Outlook, Education IT is now offering support for the Outlook email and calendaring client.  Below are some links to help you get started using Outlook email both on and off campus.  Note that if you are using the Purdue exchange server, we recommend that you use the Outlook email client.  We have withdrawn support of Netscape Messenger as an IMAP client on the Purdue exchange server.  However, if you are not currently using, or in need of, the Purdue exchange server functionality, we continue to support the use Netscape Messenger on the Purdue mailhome.  However, please note that our long term goal is to convert all regular staff and faculty members to Outlook email and calendaring by the Summer of 2004.
