4. Click "Add Account".
5. Select "Exchange".
6. Enter your email (yourID@uoguelph.ca) under "Email address", then check "next". 
7. You will see "We're looking for your account settings".
8. When you are prompted, enter your password (central ID Password). 
9. In the "Add this account to Windows?" window, click "Skip for now". 
10. In the "Make my PC more secure" window click "Enforce these policies". 
11. You will see "All Done!", make sure you click "Done". 
12. Your Email account is all set up!
