On the Server Settings page, perform the following actions:

Note: Outlook 2013 offers the option to limit the amount of data that is downloaded to your local machine. This can be adjusted, using the Mail to keep offline slider. You can select caching for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or “all.”. By default, Outlook 2013 only synchronizes twelve (12) months of email to your Offline Outlook Data (.ost) file from the Exchange server.
If you accept this default setting, if you have email items older than 12 months in your Exchange mailbox, they reside only in your mailbox on the server.
In the Microsoft Exchange dialog box, click the Connection tab and select the Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP check box. Then click Exchange Proxy Settings.
In the Microsoft Exchange Proxy Settings dialog box, perform the following actions:
In the Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange text box, enter mex06.emailsrvr.com.
Select both the On fast networks and On slow networks check boxes.
Under Proxy authentication settings, select Basic Authentication.
Click OK.
In the Microsoft Exchange dialog box, click Apply and then click OK.
On the Server Settings page, click Check Name, type your password, and then click OK.
Note: If you receive a pop-up message asking you to select your mailbox from a list, select your mailbox and click OK.
Your name will then be highlighted and a line will appear under the User Name field, indicating that your profile has been configured.
