Configuring Outlook using the setup wizard
You can configure Outlook for Hosted Exchange using a setup wizard as described in this topic. Only the Outlook and Outlook Express email clients are configurable through this control panel. To use another mail client, you need to set up that email client manually. See the manufacturer's documentation for instructions. TELUS does not currently provide support for non-Microsoft email clients.
To configure your Outlook mail client:
- Go to the email client setup page in the user control panel at http://admin.exchange.telus.com
1. Log in to the user control panel by entering your username and password.
2. On the user control panel home page, in the Hosted Exchange area, click Desktop Outlook Setup. The mail client setup page is displayed.
Organization administrators cannot access this page using the auto login feature.
0. Click Download Executable.
0. When the download is complete, run the executable.
The executable configures your Outlook mail client profile and installs the Outlook Autologin application on your computer. You can use the Outlook Autologin application to change the configuration of your Outlook profile any time after the setup is complete. You are not limited to managing email through Outlook, however; you can use other email clients as well.
The executable checks to see if there is an existing profile for your mail client. If no profile is found, the program creates a new profile using defaults. If a profile is found, the program displays a dialog box with the following settings:
o Profile Name. A default profile name. You can overwrite any existing profile by selecting Existing Profile or you can type a new profile name.
o Outlook 2003 Options. For Outlook 2003/2007, this option is enabled; for previous versions of Outlook, it is disabled. Options include:
o Local Copy. If checked, Outlook is configured with the Local Copy option enabled.
o Connect Using HTTP. If checked Outlook is configured to connect using HTTP.
The Outlook Autologin application automatically verifies your Outlook credentials each time you access Outlook.
If you use the shared contacts or shared calendar features of Outlook, you need assign shared permissions to each user manually.
For Outlook 2003/2007 users: When creating or configuring your Outlook profile, you might receive the following message: Do you want to import setting from this files?
Click Yes to proceed with the configuration.
