Outlook Email
Microsoft Outlook is a groupware package used by UM-Flint students, faculty, and staff for email and e-calendar activities. ITS supports the both the desktop and webmail versions of Outlook.
Our favorite Outlook features include:
- Integrated email, calendar, contacts and task lists
- Remote access to mail, contact and calendar folders through any Web browser (no special software needed and accessible for both PC and Mac)
- Ability to look up contacts by using partial name or uniqname
- Familiar toolbars and menus that are standard with Microsoft products
The University assumes no responsibility for email that is forwarded off the campus network. Information Technology Services (ITS) highly recommends that student, faculty, and staff access their UM-Flint email account to view campus-related messages and to communicate with fellow faculty, staff, and students. For email guidelines, please consult the Electronic Communication Policy.
**Warning: ITS can not recover lost mail or support any problems that may occur after forwarding. Please be aware that forwarding has caused problems for some users. Users have lost important email after forwarding. Some known problems with other email services include; full mailboxes, invalid email addresses, spam filters setup that block the forwarded mail, and attachment blocking.
