How do I configure Outlook?

There are two options for configuring your outlook mailbox:

• Setup Outlook Automatically
  If you have never used Outlook on your computer, this is the method to use.  Make sure that you know you USC network username and password, because you will be asked for it to access the webpage. (for users who do not have an outlook profile)
   

• Setup Outlook Manually - Instructions below
