Set up UW Exchange-based account (Delegated Access)

See Stream/Team Groups

Adding a shared NetID to your Outlook

1. From Outlook client, click on "File" ribbon located on upper left corner 
      
2. Click "Add Account" and enter the shared NetID you want to use
3. You will then be prompted to the login form like below. Click on Sign in with another account
4. Then enter your full UW email address in the next page:
   
   
   
5. Web login will show up – if not, that's okay too. Likely means it's cached in. Make sure to login with their own NetID!
   
   
   
6. Restart your outlook and you should be good to go!

Note*: After the restart, if you cannot expand the inbox, it'll likely mean they do not have access to the shared email. Make sure to send an email to UW-IT about Full-Access & Send As Permission (refer to this article: Email Delegation and Office 365 AD Integration). If that is not an issue, well. You are on your own, buddy.

Full-Access

Full-Access permissions grant you the ability to view the inbox.

Full-Access also always accompanies Send-As. Also, if you Reply to emails directly from the Shared Mailbox, you will be sending as the mailbox address.

Steps for Adding Full-Access Account:

1. Click the File tab in the top left corner
   
   
   
2. Click on Account Settings
   
   
   
3. Navigate to Data Files tab
   
   
   
4. Double-click on your NetID and navigate to Advanced tab
   
   
   
5. Un-check Download shared folders. It prevents being able to search additional mailboxes for whatever reason. (Needs verification 12/2021)
   1. (Optional) You can check Download Public Folder Favorites if you wish
      
      
6. Click Add...
   
   
   
7. Type the email or NetID you were granted Full Access with
   
   
8. Exit with Ok, then Apply. Return to the default screen.
   

You should see the new email account added.

If you wish to Compose New Emails and send them as the GCAHelp or the shared email account, then follow the Send-As instructions below.

Send-As 

If you have full access, then you'll have this, too. UW-IT doesn't generally allow granting Full-Access without Send-As permissions.

This means you won't be able to add the Mailbox, but you will be able to send emails from GCAHelp.

If you do not have full-access, then you will receive a copy of the sent email in your Sent Items inbox, but rest assured that it will also be present in the gcahelp (or shared email) Sent-Items folder.

Steps for Using Send-As:

1. Open up a New Email or Reply to an email
   
   
   
2. Go to the Options tab, and press on the From field to Activate it the field
   
   
3. Once activated, click on From dropdown next to the Send button and select Other E-mail Address...
   
   
   
4. Type in your shared email address that you have Send-As permission on
   

After adding this, the address gets saved in the "From" dropdown near the Send button.

You do not need to actually send the email (feel free to send a test message to yourself though, just label it as such). Go ahead and close the window.

Q: Why are there 2 email accounts?!?

A: GAs called for the transitioning towards exchange mail server, because they keep tally of the items in Deleted Folder for their matrix. The IMAP server, if not configured correctly, is defaulted to purge deleted items when switching folders. In Exchange, this option is not available, the only known cause of unintentional purge is "do you want to permanently delete all the items and subfolders in the "Deleted Items" folder for all accounts?" checkbox (see troubleshooting section).

The following instructions may resemble gcacash email account setup:

From Control Panel

1. Close Outlook if open
2. Go to Control Panel -> Mail (32-bit)
3. Go to E-mail Accounts
4. Click New
5. Select E-mail Account
6. Click Next>
7. Enter the following
   1. Your Name: gcahelp
   2. E-mail Address: gcahelp@uw.edu
   3. Password: [redacted, see PINS]
   4. Retype Password: [redacted, see PINS]
8. Click Next>
9. Click Finish after configuration completed.

From E-mail Accounts

1. Select gcahelp@uw.edu
2. Click Change
3. Uncheck Use Cached Exchange Mode
4. Click Next>
5. Click Finish
6. Close E-mail Accounts
7. Open Outlook
   1. If prompted Enter password for netid\gcahelp
   2. Check Remember password
8. Click Ok

After logging in, you will be faced with a UW Weblogin page for SAML OAuth authentication. Enter the credentials for gcahelp. Failing to do so will get you locked out and you will need to go into the registry to purge some Identity keys.

Due to GCAhelp capacity either also change the Send/Receive intervals, OR disable notifications. Uncheck all in File>Options>Mail | Message Arrival

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If gcahelp exchange inbox gets purge, someone with exchange has "do you want to permanently delete all the items and subfolders in the "Deleted Items" folder for all accounts?" box checked. Kristen says that this is default behavior.
