Before You Start

You may also use Outlook Web Access (OWA) to access your e-mail from the internet or set up your client with an IMAP connection to access your email. If specific instructions for your client are not listed you may use the Quick Reference Guide for Exchange Mail: http://www.rit.edu/its/services/email/setup/setup_exchange_quick_reference.html
