How to Configure Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird for Creighton University EMail
by daniel on Aug.28, 2010, under Medical School
Recently I had the motivation to configure my laptop and my phone (running droid v3) to sync correctly with the Email systems of Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska. A large part of my reasoning is the fact that when I am signed into the email systems using the schools online “Outlook Web Access” page at http://cumail.creighton.edu I can’t select multiple messages when I am using firefox. I am a strict firefox user so when it comes time to delete multiple messages from mailing lists this just won’t work.
Anyways…
So first I will run through the method that will allow you to use your phone’s native mail app to sync with the Creighton servers. This is the most elegant way to access mail on the go from Creighton University.
This type of connection is called “Exchange ActiveSync” Exchange refers to Microsoft’s mail software that Creighton is currently running and ActiveSync is just the program that allows remote access to the server.
Chilly Beginning

Today was a cold rainy day. I received little sleep last night and casually my mind wanders to that blissful state between waking and dreaming. As I sit in my office I know that any second the spotlight will fall upon me.
When a person goes to the doctor they expect knowledge, leadership, passion. I am confident in myself, and I know the reason they come back is because they are confident in me also. Nevertheless, for that split second before I round the corner into the waiting room my stomach knots, my pulse quickens and the fear of failure looms overhead. As I come fully into the waiting room with the gentle roar of some right-wing talking-head on the tv and the sweet smell of coffee lingering, my eyes lock on to theirs and I can’t help but smile.
This is my passion.
