Setting up Outlook With Scarletmail

Before attempting to configure Scarletmail with Outlook be sure the Scarletmail account is activated.

  • Configuring ScarletMail for Less Secure Apps

    Recently Google has implemented security settings on Google Apps and Google Apps for Education. Microsoft Outlook does not support these new security settings yet. For this reason when setting up Microsoft Outlook these new security settings will need to be disabled for the account. To disable this please do the following:

 

 

Go to http://accounts.google.com and enter your ScarletMail Email Address. Click Next.

 

 

Enter your Rutgers NetID and password. Click Login.

 

 

Click on Connected apps & sites under Sign-in & security.

 

 

Make sure Allow less secure apps is listed as ON.

  • Create ScarletApps Mobile/IMAP/POP Password

    Create ScarletApps Mobile/IMAP/POP Password

     

    In order to be able to use a mail client with Scarletmail users must create a ScarletApps Mobile/IMAP/POP Password. If they have not done so already please make sure users configure this password before walking them through configuring a mobile email or mail client. NOTE: This password can be different than NetID password since it is configured separately.

    Go to netid.rutgers.edu
    Click on Manage Your ScarletApps Mobile/IMAP/POP Password

 
 
 

 

Log in with NetID and password.

 

 

Enter ScarletApps Mobile/IMAP/POP Password. Follow guidelines listed above the box. This password will be used when configuring mobile and desktop email clients.

 

  • Enable IMAP in Scarletmail

    Go to scarletmail.rutgers.edu and click on ScarletMail. Log in with NetID and password.

     

 

Click on the gear located at the top right of the screen and select Settings.

 

 

Click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab across the top of the screen. Make sure that the bubble that says Enable IMAP is selected. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen. After the settings are saved the Status above the Enable IMAP bubble should say IMAP is enabled in green as shown above.

 

  • Configuring Outlook with Scarletmail

    Open up Outlook. Select Tools and then Account Settings.
    Click New.
