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.

Using Windows Software on a Mac

MAC Users: If you are using a MacBook, you can still install Access 2007 and Expression Web but it is a lengthy process (3 hours):

1. Run all updates.

2. Use the Bootcamp software in Mac OS 10.5 - Leopard or install Parallels (www.parallels.com). My opinion is that Parallels is the better option even though it costs $80.

3. Install Windows XP (Windows Vista should work but XP will be safer and faster).

4. Install any windows software that you want (including Access 2007 and Expression Web).
