# Microsoft Outlook LTSC Configuration Guide

This source provides technical instructions for configuring university email accounts using the "Outlook Classic" version within MS Office 2024 LTSC (Campus License) at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Directives
- **Prohibition of "New Outlook"**: The "New Outlook" app is strictly forbidden for university email use because it transmits email and access data to Microsoft, violating § 6 Abs. 2 Satz 4 of the URZ regulations.
- **Permitted Version**: Only "Outlook Classic" (MS Office LTSC) is currently allowed.
- **Deadline**: Support for Outlook Classic ends on **October 9, 2029**, after which Outlook is expected to be completely banned at the university.
- **Recommendation**: Users are encouraged to migrate to privacy-compliant alternatives such as [[mozilla-thunderbird]].

## Technical Configuration
To set up the account in Outlook Classic:
1. **Account Identity**: Users must enter their email address in the format `BENUTZERNAME_DES_URZ@uni-greifswald.de` (the URZ username) rather than their public email alias (`VORNAME.NACHNAME@uni-greifswald.de`), as the software does not provide a separate username field.
2. **Protocol**: Select **IMAP**.
3. **Outgoing Server Settings**:
   - **Port**: 587
   - **Encryption**: [[starttls]]
