Check your version of OS X

Some of the instructions in this guide are aimed at specific versions of the Mac OS X operating system. To find which version of Mac OS X you are running:

1. Click About this Mac available under Apple icon in the top left of the screen
2. See the version number directly under the Mac OS X title.

Users of OS X 10.8 (and older) must upgrade their operating system, due to the withdrawal of Apple security updates for older versions.

We recommend using Outlook 2016 for Mac.

Setup Outlook 2016

• You can get a copy of Office 2016 for University-owned Intel Macs from the Welcome Desk, Templeman library.
• Staff: if you've worked more than 200 hours at Kent, you can buy the software for home use.

Instructions will work both on and off campus:

1. Open Outlook 2016 and click Add Account at the bottom to add a new account. In the Accounts window, choose to add an Exchange Account. Or, go to the Outlook menu and click Preferences then Accounts.
2. Select Exchange or Office 365 for the type of account to add.
3. In the Exchange account information box enter the following details:
   • E-mail address: enter your personal Kent email address or a corporate mailbox email address
   • Authentication method: User Name and Password
   • User name: your own Kent username (even for corporate accounts) in this format: UKC\abc1
   • Password: your Kent password.
   • Configure automatically: leave ticked
4. Click Add Account and close the Accounts window.
5. Outlook 2016 will now synchronise your folders with the Exchange server. This may take a little while.
