Outlook How To Topics

Steps to Configure an Outlook Profile to use Outlook Anywhere

A Microsoft Outlook client that is configured to use Outlook Anywhere allows LSUHSC users to access their mailboxes from outside the network without having to be connected through the VPN. The instructions that follow are the manual way to set up Outlook Anywhere.  This is now the default "setup" when you allow Outlook to Automatically configure your email with your LSUHSC email account.  

Note: Clients must use Microsoft Outlook 2007 or newer. When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your LSUHSC mailbox, you will be prompted for your user name and password every time that you open Microsoft Outlook from off network. When entering your user name, precede your user name with the domain name lsumc-master, followed by a backslash, e.g. lsumc-master\UserID
