There are many ways to access your UNMC email at and away from work. All email access methods detailed in this article are approved by the Information Technology (IT) department. You can use as many methods as you wish depending on your situation and are encouraged to use the solutions that best fit your needs.
This set of scenarios applies to computers owned by the organization that are used exclusively by a single individual and have the Microsoft Outlook application installed on them. Cases would include back office workers.
On campus or at a satellite location and connected to TK-421 or WORKFORE-BYOD networks.
If you are on main campus or at a satellite location, your organizationally issued computer should automatically connect to the network (TK-421 or WORKFORE-BYOD). Once you have signed onto the computer with your Network ID, no further authentication should be needed to launch and use the installed Microsoft Office application.
At any location, connected to any other network.
Regardless of location, if you are not connected to either TK-421 or WORKFORCE-BYOD, you may have to enter your Network ID and password after launching the Microsoft Outlook application from your computer. That is, you will need to enter your Network ID credentials up to two times before using Outlook, once to log onto the computer and a second time when opening Microsoft Outlook.
