NOTE: This can only be done using the Windows XP Operating System.

NOTE: Creating a second Outlook profile for off-campus use will create a second set of
folders. We advise, if you work on a laptop that you use both on- and off-campus, that
you make your off-campus profile your default profile. It will work both on- and off-
campus, and you can maintain all of your work in one set of folders.

Control Panel, click HERE), perform one of the following tasks:

automatically locate the back-end LSU server where your Exchange account resides. 

          - For instance,in the example below the back-end server for this account was
found to be at 'email001.lsu.edu'.

     6b. Click to select the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box (optional, but highly
recommended).

time 

     6d. If prompted for any credentials, click Cancel 

     6e. Click More Settings.

Exchange mailbox using HTTP check box. 
    

      
    
     

8. Click Exchange Proxy Settings. 

     
   

9. On the Exchange Proxy Settings page, under Connections Settings, perform the following steps:

     9a. Enter the URL defined by the RPC Proxy certificate in the 'Use this URL to
connect to my proxy server for Exchange box'.  “email.lsu.edu”.
