15. A Narrated Outlook Web Access 2007 Tutorial

This tutorial will walk you through the setup and use of Outlook, the Law Center’s email program. The initial entries for a topic group are fairly comprehensive, while some subsequent entries repeat content in a way that is more specifically targeted for that particular topic.

Please note that this tutorial is created for the Microsoft Outlook 2003 client. While the web version of Outlook 2003 functions similarly in most respects, there are some differences. For a complete feature comparison between the client and the web version, please navigate to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010990461033.aspx.

To access the web version of Outlook, please browse to https://mail.law.georgetown.edu. From there, you will need to enter your NetID and Law Center password, accept the Client and Security defaults, and click on the Log On button. A narrated tutorial on Outlook Email Web Access 2007 can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/code/OWA/index.html.

If you have any further questions regarding Outlook, you can contact the IST Helpdesk at helpdesk@law.georgetown.edu.
