Hints

do not use the new Outlook für Mac

Although  the new Outlok for Mac now supports Exchange accounts (on-premises), it is not yet fully developed and is therefore not recommended. You can easily switch between versions with "Outlook - Legacy Outlook".

IMAP accounts in the new Outlook for Mac are syncing with the Microsoft Cloud. This is not allowed at KIT. Instead, return to the old Outlook for Mac (see above) to be able to use an Exchange account.

 

Configuration

• When you first start Outlook, you'll be greeted by a wizard to set up your account, which you should follow. If not:
  • Outlook - Settings - Accounts - Add email account.
• Enter your email address: <ab1234>∂kit.edu as employee.
  (Students: <uxxxx>∂student.kit.edu; Guests and Partners: <ab1234>∂partner.kit.edu).
  
• Continue
• Enter the following data
  • Method: Username and password
  • Email Address: <email address>
  • DOMAIN\username: KIT\ab1234
    (Students: KIT\uxxxx)
  • Password: Your corresponding password
  • Server (optional): <leave blank>
    
• Add account
• Done
• Note: The sender address of your mailbox is specified by the Exchange server.

The Outlook configuration is successfully completed.
