Outlook Setup

 

Use Outlook on your personal computer only. Using Outlook on public access computers (in labs) is not recommended due to your settings, password, and mail being saved to the public use computer. Checking mail with Outlook downloads/removes your Inbox mail from the Stallions mail server and places the mail on your computer.

 

On Campus: Outlook can be used to send and receive messages.
Off Campus: Outlook can be used only to receive messages. Sending messages is blocked to prevent spamming by non-ABAC use of the mail server. To send messages, use your browser for http://stallions.abac.edu.
