Outlook – Getting Started for Students



Outlook – Getting Started for StudentsHow email works at KUWhen you join the University of Kansas, you are assigned a KU Online ID, and by default will have an email and calendar account. Your default email address will be your KU-Online-ID@ku.edu, but you can set up an alias at myidentity.ku.edu. An alias is like having a vanity plate for your vehicle and each user can have up to 3 different aliases. KU IT strongly recommends not forwarding your KU Exchange account to Gmail, etc.It will possibly break your calendaring or create problems with updates.It is not as secure. The off-site provider may not keep your data as secure as our network does. Because KU IT does not support other hosted email accounts, such as Gmail, we are unable to offer support or training for it.At KU we mostly use Microsoft Office products. This means that Outlook is the preferred software for email and calendaring. Email at KU is stored on a central server, called Exchange. There are a number of ways you can view your email. These include:Outlook Desktop ClientOutlook Web App (mail.ku.edu)Smart Phones and TabletsYour KU email account has a total of 3 GB worth of storage. Emails with attachments, such as PowerPoint presentations, take up more storage space than emails without. You can view how much of this storage space is free by selecting the File button, then look under Mailbox Cleanup. Navigating Outlook6882683082600 ................
