Step6 - Microsoft Outlook (recommended mail client by ZID) when using Microsoft Exchange
As first step when you are using a Microsoft Exchange account you have to activate the Exchange Service - in order to do this, please tick the checkbox and click the Enter button as shown in the following picture.
Once you have installed MS Office 365 - you are able to use Microsoft Outlook, as stated above it is the recommended mail client by ZID, but not mandatory! We will show you how to configure Microsoft Outlook on your Mac to send and receive mails with your official univie mail address.
First open Microsoft Outlook.
Since there is currently no method to use a Microsoft Exchange account with the latest Outlook client for Mac, we need to switch to Legacy Outlook before proceeding. Follow the steps shown in the screenshot - and afterwards you have to confirm it.
Now you can start with the setup of your mail address. Click on "Get Started".
Now please type in as email address "[yourusername]@univie.ac.at" (e.g. johndoe24@univie.ac.at).
Next, the method "Username and Password" should be chosen per default. As email address type in now your full-length address (e.g. jane.doe@univie.ac.at). The DOMAIN\Username combo should be "d\[yourusername]" (e.g. d\johndoe24). Finally type in your password and as server name please type in the address given in the screenshot.
Well done! Your official university email address is now set up in Microsoft Outlook and you are ready to go!
