Outlook 2010/2013

Notes:  

  • We do not recommend installing Outlook 2010/2013 on top of an older version of Outlook. If it is installed on your PC, please uninstall this version (from Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs), reboot your PC, and then install Outlook 2010/2013. After performing a clean install of Outlook 2010/2013, you're now ready to configure it to connect to your Exchange mailbox. Office 2013 programs are not supported with any OS older than Windows 7.
  • You will not be able to install Outlook 2010 or any other Office 2010 product if an Office 2003 product is installed on the same computer.
  • Your OS should be SP1 with all Windows updates for Outlook 2010 to successfully connect to Exchange 2013 mailbox.
