Configuring a Microsoft Outlook profile for HTMO
Create a new profile in Microsoft™ Outlook that syncs with your HCL Notes® mail.
Before you begin
About this task
Each profile may only contain one HTMO account and the HTMO account must be the primary account in the profile. You may have additional HTMO delegate accounts for the same user in this same profile, but you cannot have more than one non-delegate HTMO account in a single profile. You may have more than one profile and each profile may contain a different HTMO account, so if you need to have two HTMO accounts (excluding delegate accounts), you must use multiple profiles.
