Outlook settings instructions to customize Outlook web access

·         To open the browser application, double click the shortcut link on the desktop home screen. Alternatively, launch the same from the Start menu pop up. Click on the Start orb placed in the bottom left corner of the home screen. From the Start menu instant pop up; select the label that reads All Programs. From the All programs sub menu, select the browser application that you want to launch.

·         Move the mouse pointer and right click the address bar field. Enter your Exchange Server address into the text field, and press the Enter key to initiate the search. Alternatively, you may use the green arrow placed next to the address bar to initiate the search.
