How to Set up Outlook Post-Migration or Fix Temporary Mailbox message (Windows)

This information is regarding setting up Outlook to access your email. You can also access your email by going to www.Normandale.edu/email.

If you are prompted to log into a temporary Outlook profile, please follow step #2 below or step #3. A temporary profile has the potential for issues and you want to set up your permanent profile rather than continuing with your temporary profile. 

As part of the migration, you will need to set up a new Outlook profile on your computer. There are a few ways you can do this. Please note that #1 & #2 only work on Normandale Windows computers.
