Configuring Outlook for UAlbany Mail with Modern Authentication

Instructions

1. Open Outlook.

2. If the Microsoft Outlook Startup Wizard appears, on the first page of the wizard, click Next. Then, on the E-mail Accounts page, click Next to set up an email account.

   If the Startup Wizard does not appear, click File > Account Settings > Account Settings and then click the New... button.

3. On the Auto Account Setup page, Outlook may automatically fill in the Your Name and E-mail Address settings based on how you're logged on to your computer. If the settings are filled in and they're correct, click Next to have Outlook finish setting up your account. If the settings on the Auto Account Setup page aren't filled in or aren't correct, do the following:
   1. If the settings on the Auto Account Setup page aren't filled in, type the correct information.
   2. If the name in the Your Name box isn't correct, you may need to reset the options on the Auto Account Setup page before you can edit your name. To reset the options, click the option button next to Manually setup or additional server types, and then click the option button next to E-Mail Account.
4. After you click Next on the Auto Account Setup page, Outlook will search online to find your email server settings. 
5. The University login page will appear and you may enter your NetID, the first part of your email address (before the @albany.edu) or your full UAlbany Mail email address as your user name and password then click Sign In. 
   
6. If Outlook is able to set up your account, you'll see the following text: “Congratulations! Your email account is successfully configured and is ready to use.” Click Finish.
   

      5. Outlook is now configured.
