Configuring Outlook 2010 for Outlook Anywhere

You can set up Microsoft Outlook to access your UB mailbox, including calendar and contacts, from off-campus computers. You can also access shared mailboxes using this option. If you need to access a shared mailbox after you configure Outlook, contact the OTS Call Center.

Once Outlook has been configured successfully, you will no longer need to use Outlook Web App to access your e-mail remotely.
