If your computer came to you pre-setup by the Help Desk, all you need to do is Double-click on the Outlook icon on the Desktop.
You will be instructed to enter some information through a wizard.
1. You are connecting to a Microsoft Exchange Server. (MS1)
2. Your username is your mailbox name.
3. Once you have this information in correctly, click Finish.
If your computer did not come from the Help Desk pre-set up you will need to go to
Start/Settings/Control Panel
Double click on the Mail Icon.
Complete Steps 1-3 above and set up your email account.
Creating a meeting request is very similar in every version of Microsoft Outlook.
1. Choose File/New/Meeting Request from the main Outlook window.
2. The "To" button is used to pick users whom you want to attend your meeting. The subject box is used for the name of your meeting. The location box can be used to put in a location for your meeting and will keep those locations available for your next meeting.
3. Choose the start time and day for your meeting, as well as duration. "All day event" can be used for events that take the entire day. Set your reminder time.
4. You can use the scheduling button to see if the people that you chose are available at that time before you send the meeting request.
5. Send the meeting and put it on your calendar by clicking the Send button.
You can post messages to a public folder by moving them to a folder or directly "posting" to a folder.
1. Click the Folder List option from the View menu.
2. Expand all the public folders by clicking the "+" sign next to the folder names.
3. Double click on the folder you wish to post a message to.
4. Choose "Post in this folder" from the File/New menu.
5. Create your message just as you normally would.
6. Click the "Post" button to send the message to that folder.
Moving objects to folders.
If you would like to move an object to a folder, you can simply drag that item to one of the public folders. Example: If you received an email from Joe Smith and you wanted everyone to see it in the public folder, you could drag and drop it to the public folder. Remember, you must be able to see all the folders in the folder list before you drag and drop it. If the folder isn't visible, you simple drag onto the folder name and wait until Outlook expands the folder for you.
You can use color coding on your appointments.
1. Simply Right click on the appointment object you wish to label and choose Label from the context menu. You can choose a color or category for your appointment.
Adding a new (additional) account to your email program is easy.
1. Choose Email Accounts from the Tools menu.
2. Choose Add a new email account and click Next.
3. Pick POP3 for the server account type and click Next. You can only use one Exchange account per profile.
4. Fill in the account, username and password information. Fill in the incoming and outgoing server information as well. These can be obtained from your Internet Service Provider. Click Next.
5. Click Finish.
Your account is now set up. If you made a mistake, you can return to the Accounts option under the Tools menu to do some troubleshooting and modify your account.
A special document is created for this question.
Help is just a click away. You can Click Help on the main menu bar or click the "?" on the tool bar.
Each mailbox item, Inbox, Contacts, Calendars, etc. can have multiple subfolders. Use File/New/Folder to create a particular subfolder on your computer. Once opened, you can choose where you want to create your new sub-folder. Once created, you can then drag and drop items into those folders.
Use the File / Archive Feature to archive your calendar and mailbox items. This archive will be stored on your local computer as a .pst file. You can choose the location of the where the .pst file resides. Once you archive items on your computer, your folder list will show a new folder "Archived Folders." To view the folder, make sure "View Folders" is selected. You can turn this on by clicking View / Folder List from the menu bar. You can use the archived folder just as any other folder. Once you archive the files, they are moved from your mailbox's current folder to the archived folders.
Once you click Archive, you are given a window with some options, such as "archive items older than:" where you can specify a date. You can also choose the location where you want the .pst file to reside.
Click OK to save your archived items to the .pst file and remove them from your mailbox.
You can use the "Rules Wizard" to create rules for moving mail based on subject, keyword, sender, receiver, etc. To access the Rules Wizard, click Tools / Rules Wizard. For more information, please the see the online or context help in Microsoft Outlook or on the www.microsoft.com/office/ website.
Click the TO button to access the address list.
Click the New button at the bottom of the window to create items.
The options window appears.
Calendar options are added.
Close all open options windows.
That’s it. Holidays now appear on your Outlook 2002 calendar.
I've deleted items in my deleted items folder and want to retrieve them. How do I undelete them?
Microsoft Outlook has a feature that allows you to undelete items from the server if the following condition is met:
 | It has been less than 10 days since you emptied the deleted items folder. |
Click View and select Folder List from the menu to open the folder view to see all your folders.
Select the deleted items folder.
Click Tools from the menu and select "Recover Deleted Items".
You will be able to view the items that you deleted and recover them.
