MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
Wharton currently recommends Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003 as an e-mail client for student
use. It is possible to run Outlook in several configurations. All
MBA students are assigned Exchange accounts on
the server Franklin and all Undergraduate students are assigned Exchange accounts on
the server Logan and should run Outlook in Exchange or IMAP mode.
These students can run the full version of Outlook in labs and at home,
or they can use the webmail client.
