Configuring Outlook Anywhere (2003)

The following instructions will configure the Outlook 2003 Exchange Client for use with your NVCC email account. Unlike the POP3 configuration, Outlook Anywhere exchange client allows you to view your messages directly on the server.

All messages visible in Outlook Anywhere client are also accessible via webmail.

This configuration should only be used for off campus users. If you have a lot of mail in your mailbox, it may take a long time to download all of the messages to your computer the first time you establish the connection. After that first connection, however, the response time should be much quicker.
*Please note: you do not need to connect via NVCC VPN in order to use this configuration.
*Make sure to enter the User Name on your NVCC mailbox. (Doe, John…example)
