Auto configuration between Outlook 2010 and the SPU Exchange servers usually updates all of the server settings. However, you can confirm the that settings are correct by reviewing the following screen shots and comparing them to your account settings:

• File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings... -> Change ->
  that your server is exch07-vs1.spu.local
  
  
• More Settings > Connection Tab

Note: When first using this service, please note the following:

• The initial folder synchronization when Outlook starts up may take 5-10 minutes. This process ensures the messages in your Outlook mailbox reflect what is on our email server.
• Due to the large amount of data being transferred, other tasks on your computer or network may experience slowness while the mailbox is being downloaded. Please have patience.
