The easiest way to access your UMKC e-mail on a Macintosh is
Outlook Web Access (OWA),
which requires only a web browser such as
Safari or
Firefox. Alternately, Microsoft
Entourage 2008 is UMKC's officially supported Macintosh e-mail client, and is
recommended for users who need advanced features such as Public
Folder support, calendar and message sharing, and delegate access. Other mail clients such as
older versions of Outlook, Apple Mail (built-in to OS X), and Eudora are not supported.
Outlook Web Access - This is by far the easiest way to check
e-mail on a Macintosh. Open a web browser (we recommend Safari or Firefox) and
go to www.umkc.edu/exchange.
Entourage 2008 - Entourage 2008 is an e-mail program specifically
designed to interoperate with Microsoft's Exchange e-mail server.
As Exchange has
become the UM standard for e-mail, Entourage provides the best
option for Exchange functionality and features on the Macintosh.
Entourage is the Macintosh version of Outlook on the PC, and users
of Outlook should have very little trouble adapting to Entourage. Entourage is included with
Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, which is available at no charge
for any University owned computer.
Copies for personally owned computers may be purchased through the
University Bookstore.

Apple Mail - Apple Mail is the e-mail
client bundled with OS X. It does not provide full Exchange support,
and lacks important functionality offered by the options above.
Because of these limitations, support for Apple Mail is limited to
the setup instructions provided
here. UMKC can offer no guarantee of user experience or
reliability when using Apple Mail.

password, click
