Select 'IMAP' as the server type
Incoming = mymail.rit.edu
Outgoing = smtp-server.rit.edu
Click 'Next'
Enter the 'user name and password', which is the same as your RIT Computer Account, check 'remember password' and make sure that 'SPA' is not selected and then click 'Next'

Click 'Finish'
Highlight the new account and click the 'Properties' button
On the 'general tab' enter RIT as the organization
On the 'outgoing server' tab check the box next to 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' and then select 'Use same settings as my incoming mail server'

When you click on the 'inbox' under mymail.rit.edu you may receive a warning message regarding certificates, just click 'Yes'. You may receive this message each time you open Outlook and go to mymail.rit.edu when it's set to IMAP.
By default sent items are stored locally with an IMAP account in Outlook, if you want them stored on the server you will have to manually move them to the 'sent items' folder on the server. When you switch to an Exchange account your items will be stored on the server by default.
