Setting Up Outlook 2007 and Synchronizing Data
If you would like to use Microsoft Outlook 2007 for your email, calendar, tasks, etc. you first need to connect Outlook with our Exchange Server. Also, you can sync data from our server with your local computer or other device. This means that any changes you make on your computer, also changes live on the server. This is perfect for pastors and directors who need to be able to see their calendars and task lists from any location. 

To setup Outlook and enable synchronization

1. First make sure you have installed the Certificate described in Installing the Certificate.
2. Click the Start button, and then mouse-over Microsoft Office Outlook.
3. Right-click on Microsoft Office Outlook, and click Properties.

Note: for this example, we will create a new profile so you can just switch profiles if you want to see your old data for any reason.

1. Select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types check box.

Everyone uses the Exchange Server address of mail.synodanw.org. Please note that this is not your email address; this is just the address the internet needs to correctly find our server. 

1. In the Microsoft Exchange server box, enter mail.synodanw.org.
2. In the User Name box, enter the email address you were given (brandon@whitpres.org is used as an example below).
3. Click More Settings.

You will get an error, which is normal.

This screen will look the same for everyone.
