Purpose This document is designed to assist with configuring email clients, for your Windows PC, following your migration to the Microsoft Office 365 (Office 365) single email platform.
Document Support Boundaries This Document is written to support the following mail clients on a Windows Operating System;
• Outlook 2003 – IMAP connection ONLY. • Outlook 2007. • Outlook 2010 – automatic configuration. • Outlook 2010 – manual configuration.
• Outlook 2013 – on Windows 7 and 8 – automatic configuration. • Outlook 2013 – on Windows 7 and 8 – manual configuration.
• Thunderbird 14.x – IMAP connection.
NOTE For any other versions of email clients, please consult your manual, built in help system, place of purchase or use online searches for configuration instructions.
Important Notes about Outlook 2013 Office 2013 is not supported and cannot be installed on Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows Operating systems. You would need to use Windows 7 or Windows 8 to be able to install and use it. NOTE Do not use a profile you created in an older version of Outlook when you setup
Outlook 2013. This is because Outlook 2013 updates the profile completely. Once the profile has been upgraded, you won't be able to use it with an older version of Outlook if you decide to uninstall Outlook 2013.

Examples used in this document We have used examples throughout this document for usernames and email addresses
• Where email address is asked for, please enter your ANU email address.
• Where username is asked for please enter it in the format listed below
[email protected] (for example [email protected])
• Where manual server configuration is specified we have used hkxprd0610.
Several different Microsoft Office 365 servers This information you need to know about if doing the manual configuration method. There are several different Microsoft Office 365 servers in each of the 2 locations that your email account could be stored on. When doing the manual configuration methods ensure you log into webmail and obtain the server name that your email account is on first.
How to check which server your email account is on This is to gather the required information for the manual configuration method;
1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or other).
2. Login to Outlook Web Access outlook.com/owa/anu.edu.au
3. The name of the server where your ANU email account is on can be found in this part of the address bar.
Examples of some of the server names are;
• sinprd0610 • sixprd0610 • hkxprd0610
NOTE Using a different server than the one that your email account is stored on will
give you an error “mailbox not found” when trying to manually setup the account.
