Outlook 2002

If you are installing Outlook for the first time, you will want to follow the directions below.  If you are upgrading from Outlook 97, 98, or 2000, click here for the directions on how to complete the Outlook 2002 setup.

Find the Microsoft Outlook Icon on your desktop. Right-click (click on the right mouse button) on it.  A window like the one to the right will appear.  Select Properties, and click on it.
This window will appear.  Click on Show Profiles.
This window will appear.  Click on Add...
This window will appear.  In the profile name box, type in a name for your profile.  Click OK.
Click on the bullet next to Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Select the bullet next for Microsoft Exchange Server, and click Next.
In the box under "Microsoft Exchange server" type "FREUD". *Off-campus users enter freud.unh.edu.*  For the mailbox name, you will need to type in your AD Domain name.  When you are finished, click Check Name.
Your full name and the exchange server name should become underlined.  If they did not, or you received an error after clicking Check Name, contact the system administrator for further assistance.  Otherwise, click Next to continue.
Congratulations, you have successfully setup Outlook to work with the Exchange Server.  Click Finish.
You will be returned to this window.  Click on the drop down box at the bottom, and make sure the profile you just created is selected.  Then make sure the bullet next to Always use this profile, (unless you share the computer with a co-worker who also has an Exchange mailbox).  Click OK.  Congratulations, your Outlook 2002 is now configured for the Exchange Server.

Setting Up Outlook After Upgrading from Outlook 97, 98, or 2000

    These instructions assume that your previous versions of Outlook 97, 98, or 2000 were also configured to work with the Exchange server.  They are not for the Outlook versions configured to work as a POP3 client.      
    After you have rebooted the computer, double click on the Microsoft Outlook icon.  A setup wizard should appear.  You will be asked if you used a previous version of Outlook for your email before, click yes to this question. For any other questions, take the defaults.  Click next until the wizard is finished.  Outlook will open and will ask you if you want Outlook to be your default mail program, click on yes.  Outlook will then open up and you will have access to all your mail.  If you had a personal address book before, Outlook will ask you if you want to import those into your contacts folder.  Click on yes.  A window will pop up asking you where you want to import them to.  Make sure that the contacts folder is highlighted and click ok.  Note:  Attachments, (if edited with HTML), will appear in the message header rather than the body of the message.  Double-click on the attachment icon to open it. 

Configuring Outlook 2002 After Installation and Profile Setup

After you open Outlook for the first time, you need to make some changes in the settings.  Click on the Tools menu and then Options.
From this window, click on Journal Options.
Make sure that none of the boxes are checked, and uncheck them if necessary.  When finished, click on OK. Then click on the Mail Format tab.
In this window, make sure that to the right of Compose in this message format, HTML is selected as shown to the right.  When finished, click on the Spelling tab.
In this window, you will need to check the box to the left of Always check spelling before sending.  When finished, click on the Other tab.
From here, check the box next to Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting and uncheck the box next to Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook.  Now click on the AutoArchive button located in the middle-right of the window.
Uncheck the box that is to the left of Run AutoArchive every.  When you are finished, click OK in this window and then OK in the large window.

This should complete your installation and configuration of Outlook 2002.  Congratulations, and enjoy!
