Connecting to uoregon e-mail through Outlook
The UO IT department has a great page with instructions for viewing your uoregon e-mail through Outlook and other e-mail programs:
http://it.uoregon.edu/help/email/setup.shtml
If you do use Outlook, my suggestion is that you use POP (the server is pop.uoregon.edu) rather than IMAP so that all your e-mail (if you have multiple e-mail accounts in Outlook) all goes into the one Inbox.
