Webmail

A webmail version exists here: http://outlook.office.com, which does not require Outlook to be installed or updated, and can be used as another option to access your email, if you are having issues with Outlook or not on a machine that has Outlook installed.

Instructions:

  • You can have multiple Outlook profiles on a computer each pointing to different email accounts and with different settings. This can be useful if you need to go back & check what settings you had on your Medschl mailboxYou should create a new Outlook profile with Exchange Online.

  • Below are 2 methods to create a new profile (automatic and manual) - if you are using a Supported CSCS supported Computer we recommend the “Automatic Method” as it is quicker and simpler:

Windows Laptops & Desktops - https://cscs-itsupport.atlassian.net/l/cp/RCRPK3uv
