Outlook Anywhere Client configuration process

You can configure Outlook to use Outlook Anywhere by completing the following steps:

(1) Exit Outlook. Start the Mail tool. Click Start, and then select Control Panel, click User Accounts in Control Panel, and then click Mail.

(2) in the Mail Setup--outlook dialog box, click Show Profiles. Then click Add in the Mail window.

(3) Enter the name of the profile, such as Outlook Anywhere, and then click OK to go to the Add New E-mail Account Wizard interface.

(4) If you have configured the Autodiscover service correctly, automatic discovery will automatically configure the client for you, and you can skip other steps. Otherwise, you need to manually configure the settings. Select the e-mail accounts-Manually configure server settings check box, and then click Next.

(5) Select Microsoft Exchange and click Next.

(6) in the Microsoft Exchange server text box, enter the mail server host name, such as Mailer1, or you can enter the FQDN of the mail server. If mailer1.exchangecn.com, using a fully qualified domain name ensures that the mail server can connect successfully in a different domain or forest.

(7) In the Username text box, enter the user's domain login or domain username, such as Williams or William Stanek, and click "Check name" to make sure that the correct user name is entered for the mailbox. If you want to store a local copy of the user's e-mail message on your computer, make sure that the use Cached Exchange Mode check box is selected.

(8) Click "Other Settings" to enter the Microsoft Exchange dialog box.

(9) For Outlook Anywhere, when there is only one active connection, you typically need to manually control the connection state and connect to exchange (meaning to compare online and offline). On the General tab, select the Manual Control Connection Status option and the Connect to Network option.
