| If you are an employee for BYU-Idaho, you will need to change the password saved in your Outlook application. This must be done for the email to reload. Otherwise, your Outlook application will continuously say that it cannot sync, and you won’t receive your emails. |
1. Click File, located in the top-left corner.
2. Click Account Settings, and then select Account Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the second tab labeled Data Files and click the email file for which you'd like to change the password.
4. Click Settings.
5. Click Change Password.
| The Change Password option will not appear unless you have already changed your BYU-Idaho password. This is because it is a network password connected directly to the BYU-Idaho login page. |
6. Type the old password in the box labeled Old Password, then type your new password in the required field. Remember, it can be up to 15 characters long and is case-sensitive.
7. Click OK.
