Student's Need to Knows about Outlook 2003
Students will be using the web-based access to your Outlook email, calendar, contacts, folder, and other resources. This new web-based interface to Outlook is a vast improvement over the web interface previously available. Through this new web interface you will be able to do virtually everything that can be done through direct use of the Outlook client.
To access your Outlook email and other resources you will be required to login to UAMS network.
As soon as possible test your UAMS domain network login.
Your user name is: LastnameFirstnameMi (up to 20 characters) or new 2004 students' user name is your student ID number(7 digit number). If you have never logged in your password will have ben given to you at registration. You will be required to change the password the first time you login. If you have logged in before, your password will be whatever it was the last time you logged in. You can check your login by clicking on this URL: http://webmail.uams.edu/ In the middle of this webpage is a link to Test your UAMS Domain Login Account. If you log in successfully you will receive this page:
Note: Since you will be using the web interface to Outlook you will not have to create an Outlook user profile used by the Outlook client software.
Information related to web access will, however, be of interest to you. See http://webmail.uams.edu/ and “How to use web-based e-mail access.” on http://www.uams.edu/email/outlook2003/OnlineTraining.asp. Also see “How to view Outlook's Public Folders – Conferences” on http://www.uams.edu/email/outlook2003/Migration.asp. It will be important for you to know how to use the Public Folders in Outlook. The documentation on Public Folders (a PDF file) speaks of adding a Public Folder to your Public Folders Favorites and to your Folder Favorites. This is intended for Outlook client users and is not available in the web-based interface. There is, however, a direct link in the web-based interface to Public Folders and you can, in fact, add a link to any specific Public Folder (or Calendar) to the Favorites in your browser. When adding it to your browser favorites you should give it a name that is meaningful.
