Exchange Server and Outlook has been chosen to be used for all staff within the faculty. We currently have a mixture of 3 email clients being used - Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird and Outlook. This is not ideal for support within one faculty as each client stores mail differently and causes problems particularly in regards to attachments.

Some of the advantages to changing to outlook...

1. All mail (including out mail) is stored on the exchange server

2. All contacts / address books are stored on the exchange server

3. Integrated calendar which can be shared with groups and synchronized with PDA's. The calendar is also stored on the exchange server.

4. You can send mail using other languages such as Chinese, Arabic etc 5.The web interface looks the same as Outlook with full access to your calendar and contacts

Over the next few months Arts IT will contact you about arranging the change over of your email to Outlook and the Arts Exchange server.

Please note that if you have been changed over to Outlook that you can NO longer use Olams to change your email password or set Vacation Mail. Please refer to the Quick or Comprehensive guides (found in the main menu) for instructions on how to set out of office replies from within Outlook.
