Our Outlook Auto Setup Tool will
automatically create a new Outlook
profile for your Exchange hosting
mailbox. If you have other email
accounts configured in your
current profile you will need to
move them to the new profile
manually.
The Setup tool will not create
your mailbox on the Exchange
Server. If you are unsure whether
your mailbox has been created,
please contact your company
administrator.
No existing data will be lost
during this setup. You can view
instructions on how to view all
profiles configured on your system
here.
If you are not running on Outlook 2003, we recommend upgrading your version of the software before setting up Hosted Exchange. This free upgrade is available here:
