How to Add an Additional Exchange Email Account in Outlook

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is the full-version email client included in the Microsoft Office suite of productivity applications. Adding email accounts to Outlook is a fairly streamlined task, usually requiring only the email address and password for the Exchange email account.
To add an additional Exchange email account do next simple steps:
  • Run Outlook 2010
  • Click the File option on the top toolbar and then click the Add Account button under "Account Information".
    • Type the name of the person to whom the new email account belongs into the field labeled Your Name. Type the email address for the new account in the Email Address input box. Type the password for the email account, and then retype the password to confirm. Click Next. Outlook will attempt to connect with the Exchange email server and log in with the information you have provided.
    • If successful, click Finish. The configuration is complete. If unsuccessful, click the Retry button to reattempt the connection, or click the Back button and manually configure the email servers.
    • You see the message like this. Press Ok and restart your Outlook 2010.

    • Additional account was added!

    Good luck!

    How to migrate (copy) Microsoft Outlook 2010 custom views to backup or share

    Microsoft Outlook doesn’t offer an easy method to backup or share custom views, and exporting the contents to a new pst does not include the views or custom forms.

    Copy views to a ViewsBackup.pst
    1. Add a new .pst (File, New, Outlook Data File).
    2. Add folders to the .pst for each type of view you need to copy. (One folder each of Mail, Calendar, contacts, etc).
    3. Select the first new folder.
    4. Open the Define views dialog.
    5. Select the view you want to copy to the new pst and click Copy.
    6. Select one of the "This folder…" options.
    7. Change the view name, if desired.
    8. Click Ok.
    9. Repeat for each view you want to copy.
    Repeat for each folder type.
    To copy a view that was originally designed for “this folder only”, you’ll need open that folder, and make a copy of it using the “For all [folders]” option then begin with Step 3.
    Copying views to a different pst uses the same steps, but you’ll copy the “for this folder view” and set it for All [folder]. This adds it to the default pst (or Exchange mailbox). If you want it for a specific folder only, you’ll need to select the folder, copy the view again and set it for this folder only.
    Views created for “this folder only” are stored in the folder – moving or copying the folder to a new pst includes these views (as well as custom forms published to the folder).
    Exchange server users can copy views and published forms using the File, Folder menu.

    • If the library has subfolders and you want to have access to all of the files in Outlook, view the library at its top level and then connect it to Outlook.

    • To access only the contents of a single folder in Outlook, there are two options. If the folder that contains files that you want to access in Outlook is not open, point to the folder, click the Open Menu arrow that appears, and then click Connect to Outlook. If the folder that you want to connect is already open, follow the steps to connect a library.
    • After you connect a library to Outlook, you can invite other team members to connect to the library. Right-click the library name in Outlook, and then click Share This Folder.
