Creating a profile
To setup Outlook, you need to create a new profile. Outlook provides a wizard to
do this, and this document highlights how to use this wizard to connect to an Exchange
for Granted mailbox.

- Choose Microsoft Exchange Server
- Set the Microsoft Exchange Server to exchange01steel-exmb01
- Enter your Exchange for Granted email address as the User Name
- Click on the button More Settings
After clicking on More Settings, the system will pause for around 90 seconds, and
display a warning message. DON’T WORRY, THIS IS NORMAL! Click OK You will then get
a box prompting you for server and user information. Click CANCEL to get to the
settings box;
- Click on the Connection tab
- Put a tick in Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP
- Click on the button Exchange Proxy Settings…
Configure this page as follows:
- set URL to webmail.fmi.co.uk
- tick all boxes except for 'Mutually authenticate.....
- Set authentication settings to NTLM authentication
Click on OK twice to return to the wizard, then click on Next and Finish. Each time
you start Outlook, you will be prompted for your username (email address) and password.
The first time you try to connect, you may be asked for you username and password
three times. Don’t worry!
