Setting up a KU email account can take some time, but I'll break it down into steps to help you get started. Here's a general outline of the process:

Step 1: Create a KU Online ID (KUOL)

• Go to the KU Online ID website (kuonlineid.ku.edu) and follow the prompts to create your KUOL.
• You'll need to provide some personal information, such as your name, date of birth, and social security number.
• Once you've created your KUOL, you'll receive an email to verify your account.

Step 2: Activate Your KU Email Account

• After verifying your KUOL, you'll be able to activate your KU email account.
• Go to the KU Email website (email.ku.edu) and log in with your KUOL credentials.
• Follow the prompts to set up your email account, including choosing a password and setting up your account preferences.

Step 3: Set Up Your Email Client

• To access your KU email account using an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you'll need to set up your account manually.
• You can find instructions on how to set up your KU email account in your email client on the KU IT website (it.ku.edu).

Step 4: Configure Your Email Settings

• Once you've set up your email client, you'll need to configure your email settings, including your email address, password, and server settings.
• You can find the recommended settings for your KU email account on the KU IT website.

Step 5: Check Your Email

• Once you've set up your email account and configured your email client, you can start checking your email.
• You can access your email account through the KU Email website or through your email client.

Estimated Setup Time

• The entire process, from creating a KU Online ID to setting up your email client, can take around 30-60 minutes.
• However, the actual setup time may vary depending on your familiarity with email setup and your internet connection speed.
