  2. Open Mail.
  3. Select Show Profiles, and the "Mail" screen will open.
  4. Select Add. Name the profile something distinct, such as Outlook. Click OK.
  5. The "Add Account" window will open. Enter your @epcfonline.com email address. Enter your password , and then click Next.
    Important:
    Do not disable Cached Exchange mode in the manual settings. Without it, Outlook may malfunction.
  6. After finishing, you'll be returned to the "Mail" window. Near the bottom, you'll see "When starting Microsoft Outlook, use this profile:". Choose Prompt for a profile to be used. Click OK.

  7. Keep the "Mail" window open and launch Outlook from your Start menu or desktop. When prompted for which profile to use, choose your new one.
  8. Your Exchange Online account should load. This may take several minutes if your mailbox is very large, based on your connection speed.
  9. When the process completes, check to make sure it contains your messages and sub-folders.
  10. Once you are satisfied, you can return to the "Mail" window and delete the old profile by highlighting it and choosing Remove.

  5. You will now see your Exchange mailbox.
