If you use Outlook to access your e-mail, then click to select I use Microsoft® Outlook™ or Outlook Express™ to download a small program to your PC that detects the settings you are using in Outlook.

Set up My E-mail mailbox from a corporate Microsoft® Exchange Server

To set up your My E-mail mailbox if your e-mail account is on a corporate Microsoft® Exchange Server, and you can access your mailbox using a Web browser, perform the following steps:

1.	Click to select I can access my mailbox using a Web browser (Outlook™ Web Access).

2.	Click Next.

3.	Enter the requested information

Outlook Web Access URL	The Web address you use to access your corporate e-mail using the Outlook™ Web Access application. For example, “http://webmail.company.com/exchange”.
E-Mail Address	The complete e-mail address of the mailbox you are trying to add. For example, a user named John Smith who works at ABC Company might have the e-mail address might be "john.smith@abc.com".
Mailbox Name	The name given to the Mailbox itself; Microsoft® Exchange Server mailbox names usually follow a pre-configured format, and are usually case-sensitive.
User Name	Typically the portion of the e-mail address before the at (@) symbol. In some cases this could be the log in name you use to log in to your company's network. If your company uses multiple network domains for users, the User Name might be the domain name\user name. For example, a user whose e-mail address is "john.smith@abc.com" might have the User Name "john.smith". If this user belongs to a domain named "domain1" the User Name might be "domain1\john.smith".

To set up your My E-mail mailbox if your e-mail account is on a corporate Microsoft® Exchange Server and you cannot access your mailbox using a Web browser, perform the following steps:

1.	Click to select I always use Microsoft® Outlook™ to access my mailbox.

2.	Click Next.

You will download and install the Secure Mail Connector software to a computer that is always connected to your corporate network (e.g., do not download it to a laptop computer that you take with you when you travel). The Secure Mail Connector allows you to access your corporate e-mail securely from your mobile device. You can share the Secure Mail Connector with a co-worker who uses the same Microsoft® Exchange Server or Domino®/Notes Server.
