Assignment 10 - Setting Up MS Exchange

Assigned: Nov. 17, 2011
Due: Nov. 18, 2011
Points: 10 points

Hi Everyone,

For this assignment you'll be working  with email again.  You're going to be doing a cool service from Microsoft called "Exchange".  Exchange's idea is that we take something technical (called POP3) that lets us download our email from multiple accounts, and it makes it more simple.  Exchange also can synchronize your email, contacts, and calendars.  It's really useful!

1. Make sure you on the computer under your own username (if it's someone else' account, then they will be able to read your email!)
2. Open Outlook.
3. Create a new email account.
4. Enter your name in the English order (given then surname [e.g. Huy Nguyen, not Nguyen Huy]).
5. Enter your email address/password.  You'll be asked later for your username.  Your username is your full email address.
6. Click "Next"
7. You might be asked to enter your user/pass again.
8. Outlook should synchronize your email/contacts/calendars now.
9. Now click "New" to create a new email.
10. Click "To" to find the Global Address Book.
11. Enter "Tom" to find me!
12. Double click my name and click "OK" to email me.
13. Your subject should be "______'s Assignment 10" and your message should say 3 sentences about what you intend to do during the Christmas holidays.
14. When you finish, please play with the functions of MS Outlook and explore its features.  We will use it next week to learn about calendars and contacts.
