dMail setup for new Outlook users

If you are using Outlook for the first time on your personal computer, you will need to manually create an Outlook profile.

  • From the Start Menu, click on 'Control Panel'
    • (XP) Click on 'Mail'
    • (Vista/7) Click on 'User Accounts', then 'Mail' (or 'Mail (32-bit)')

  • Click on 'Show Profiles...'
  • Click on 'Add...'
  • Enter a name for the profile (e.g. "dMail") and click 'OK'

  • Enter your full name, email address, email password (twice) and click 'Next'

  • Change the username to your email account's username (without any dots) and append @dundee.ac.uk
  • Enter the password for your email account
  • Tick 'Remember my credentials' and click 'OK'

  • Click 'Finish' - Outlook will then ask you to close and re-open it before accessing the configured dMail account

Note that the first time you open Outlook, you may be prompted to enter your dMail credentials again (username@dundee.ac.uk)
