IMAP eliminates the need to move mail back and forth between the desktop and server.

If you have a personal account previously configured, select File Info Account Settings Account Settings New.

Or from the start menu, open Control Panel View by Large icons Mail Show Profiles Add.

Change the User name to your HawkIDuiowa.edu (eg: jdoeuiowa.edu ) and use your HawkID password.

Repeat step 7. Again it may need to sit for a bit while it contacts the server, but it should be able to complete configuration.

Outlook will open, but it may take several minutes as it prepares for the first use.

Select Always use my response for this server and click Allow.

Please note that this account setup process may take several minutes.

If you must use Outlook 2010 and are connecting from off campus, you will need to connect to the VPN the first time.

Please note that this must to be done before moving to Office 365 or before opening Outlook 2010 after moving to Office 365.

To ensure you are able to sync your email, make sure Outlook 2010 is up to date.

If you have a personal account previously configured, select File Info Add Account.

If you are currently using IMAPPOP to access your Office 365 account we will not remove access.

However, ITS recommends using Outlook (Windows or Mac), OWA or Outlook mobile (iOS or Android) clients.

Using your POP email client, you can choose to Leave mail on the server and then have access to it from another computer.

However, this mode of access is not ideal because it tends to sprinkle messages on each computer you use for mail access.

If you use multiple computers, where ALL of them have access to the same server (H:), you can still use POP if you keep your mail on the shared drive (e.g., the H: drive).

You manage your mail, mailboxes, and folders on the server, not on your computer.

For example, messages stored on an IMAP server can be accessed from a computer at home, a workstation at the office, or a laptop computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
