Authenticating through the Exchange service
Please Note: These directions should only be used when configuring an on-campus machine with Outlook for the Exchange Server.
 
  1. On the desktop, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Double-click on the Mail control panel. (If you do not see a Mail control panel, click on Switch to Classic View.)
  3. Click on Email Accounts....
  4. Under Email, select Add a new email account, and click Next.
  5. Select Microsoft Exchange Server, and click Next.
  6. Set the Microsoft Exchange Server to CMAIL1, and set the User Name to your Global ID  (example: smith1j).
  7. Uncheck the Use Cached Exchange Mode option.
  8. Click Check Name.
  9. You may then be asked to input your User Name, Password, and Domain. The User Name is your Global ID. The Password is your NT Password. Set the Domain to CENTRAL. Click OK.
  10. Your full name will be displayed to show that your Exchange account has been located.
    NOTE: If you receive an error at this point, verify the information that you have entered. If it is correct, click Next.
  11. By default Outlook will deliver your new mail messages to your Personal Folders. You may be prompted with a message explaining how to correct this issue. Click Yes to close the message window.
  12. In the Email Accounts window, make sure that the pull-down menu labeled “Deliver new e-mail to the following location” is set to “Mailbox - …” not Personal Folders.
  13. Click Finish, click OK to close any informational windows that may appear, and click Close.
  14. Because Outlook uses NT Authentication, it is not necessary to enter your password every time you open Outlook.


Creating and IMAP account to access Exchange Server:
Please Note: These instructions can be used for off-campus access to the Exchange Server, however, using the IMAP feature will not allow you to access the Calendaring system through Exchange. You will only have a Local Calendaring Service which will only be seen by you and does not affect the Calendaring System located on the Exchange Server. If you would like to use the Calendaring System via the Exchange Server, please follow the instructions on how to access your local mail and Calendaring System using the Web-based Service.
 
  1. Open Outlook 2003.
  2. Go to Tools > Email Accounts.
  3. Choose the option Add a new email account. Click Next.
  4. Choose the option IMAP. Click Next.
  5. In the text box labeled Your Name, type your full name.
  6. For the Email Address, type <your Global ID>@cmich.edu (example: smith1j@cmich.edu).
  7. For the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server, type mail.cmich.edu.
  8. The User name is your Global ID (example: smith1j).
  9. In the Password box, type your NT Password.
  10. Click Next.
  11. Click Finish.
  12. You wil be prompted to type in your password again. Make sure you are using your NT password when prompted, then click OK.


Creating a POP3 account to access Exchange Server:
Please Note: These instructions can be used for off-campus access to the Exchange Server, however, using the POP3 feature will not allow you to access the Calendaring system through Exchange. You will only have a Local Calendaring Service which will only be seen by you and does not affect the Calendaring System located on the Exchange Server. If you would like to use the Calendaring System via the Exchange Server when off-campus, please follow the instructions on how to access your local mail and Calendaring System using the Web-based Service. Important: Using the POP3 feature will download all mail messages from the server onto the local machine. If you would like to keep all the mail messages on the Exchange Server, please use the IMAP feature or use the Web-based utility.
  1. Open Outlook 2003.
  2. Go to Tools > Email Accounts.
  3. Choose the option Add a new Email Account. Click Next.
  4. Choose the option POP. Click Next.

  8. The User name is your Global ID (example: smith1j).
  9. In the Password Box, type your NT Password.
  10. Click Test Account Settings to verify the accuracy of your configuration.
  11. Click Next.
  12. Click Finish.
  13. You may be prompted to type in your password again. Make sure you are using your NT password when prompted, then click OK.


Using the Web-based service to access Mail and Calendaring through Exchange:
Please Note: This can be used for both on campus and off campus access.
  1. Go to the website: https://mail.cmich.edu/exchange.
  2. For the Username, type:
     central/<globalID>
    where <globalID> is your Global ID (example: smith1j).
