Your version of Outlook maybe different, so the windows you see may not be exactly the same as shown here. However, the general steps and names will be will be the same.

1. Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu. When that folder opens, double click on "Mail".

2. This is the mail control panel where you can adjust the settings for Outlook. Click on the button labeled "Profiles" toward the bottom.

3. This screen displays all of the different profiles set up for Outlook. Click the "Remove" button to remove all of the profiles currently installed. When the box is empty, click "Add...".

4. Check the box labeled "Microsoft Exchange Server". Leave the other box unchecked.

5. The profile name can be anything you choose. It's merely a reference to this group of settings.

6. The exchange server is mednet.ucla.edu. Type that in the first line and your Mednet email username in the second line. (Don't confuse your Mednet username with your Gonda login name, although they maybe the same).

Click on the Check Name button, and it will look up your username against many of the email servers. When found, both the server name and username will be underlined. If it fails to look up properly, it will not underline anything and you may want to double check on the spelling.

Alternatively: You can try putting in medmail7.mednet.ucla.edu if you are given a mewwex (older) account, or admedmail3.mednet.ucla.edu if you are given an AD (newer) account as your server name.

7. No, you don't travel with this computer.

8. You're all done! You can now open up Outlook to check your Mednet email account.
