• Microsoft Outlook is our supported software to access Exchange e-mail accounts. 
• We support group mail features such as the Global Address Book, Meeting Scheduling Tool, Out of Office Assistant and more.
• Our Exchange server can be accessed through Webmail from any computer with Internet access.  Login with "BUS\" followed by your uniqname and your Business School password.

Accessing e-Mail through the Web

Your personal Business School email can be accessed through the internet at http://exchange.umich.edu.  Log in with "BUS\" plus your uniqname and your Business School password.  Note: you will not have access to other email accounts, even if you have delegate rights.

Department email accounts can be accessed by first logging into your own account.  Type the name of the department's mailbox after the current url in the address bar of your browser and the webmail will switch to the department's mailbox.  You can only access department accounts that you have rights to.

Using Microsoft Outlook Remotely

For security, use our Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect to Outlook from your home computer.  For more information and instructions, visit our Remote Network Access page.
 

You can send messages to all students or a group of students in a class, in a course, in a section, etc.  Messages using the Student Directory are received by the students as iMpact Notifications.  You cannot send attachments using iMpact Notes.  Personal Notes stay within iMpact unless you choose to forward to your email account.
 

Microsoft Office Outlook can do so much more than just send and receive email.  Download one of the following handouts to learn more about the features that make Outlook a powerful collaborative tool:

Here are basic instructions for specific Outlook tasks in our environment:

• Managing Multiple Exchange Accounts

If you wish to use your campus mail account, you can have your Exchange mail permanently forwarded (note this excludes continued use of your Exchange mailbox), or you can use it as a separate mailbox.  For example, you could use your uniqname@bus.umich.edu address to deliver directly to Exchange, and your uniqname@umich.edu address to deliver only to your campus mailbox.  You would need to remove the Business School forwarding address from your campus Online Directory entry, and you will not receive any internal Business School mail in the campus account.  Contact the Helpdesk for assistance to ensure proper mail delivery.
