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.

2. When that folder opens, double click on "Mail".

3. When the window opens, click on E-mail Accounts.

4. When the Account Settings window opens, under the E-mail tab, click on the New... button.

5. This is going to be a Microsoft Exchange account.

6. Choose to manually configure the server settings.

Again, this will be a Microsoft Exchange account.

7. Under Microsoft Exchange Server, type in "EMGMB1.ad.medctr.ucla.edu". Under user name, type in your user name (everything that comes before @mednet.ucla.edu) and click on the Check Name button.

8. A window might pop up asking you for your Mednet login credentials. Make sure to include "ad\" before your username.

9. You will be brought back to the original window like in Step 7, except this time both the Microsoft Exchange server and the user name should be underlined. The Microsoft Exchange server listed may have also changed in name. That is fine. Click on the Next button.

10. Your Mednet email account should now show up under the list of email accounts that Outlook has set up. If need be, set the Mednet account as your default account. To verify that your Mednet account is the default, look at which account is listed at the bottom, where it says "Selected email account delivers new email messages to the following location". Make sure that the name listed there is in the form of: "Mailbox - Lastname, Firstname\Inbox"

11. Now you're done!
