Subscribing to folders in Outlook using IMAP

It is relatively easy to subscribe to the folders. It is a two step process that should take approximately 3 minutes to complete. However, this process is not 100% guaranteed.

To do this the Outlook client needs to be set up with an IMAP connection.

Subscribing to Folders in Outlook

1. Right click on the root of the IMAP folder. (In exchange, this is identified by a folder named exchange.uconn.edu or Uconn Exchange.)

          

2. Select IMAP Folders from the list of options.

          

3. In the search field, enter the name of the folders you would like. Then click on Query.

          

• Leaving the search field blank will yield all the available folders to you. This includes the Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, Junk E-mail, Trash, and all available public folders; the resulting list may be very long. To reduce the results you may search for each folder individually.
• Common searches are: Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox.
• Note: Searching Inbox will yield the inbox and all subfolders of the inbox.

4. Select the folder you would like to subscribe to, then click on Subscribe for each folder.

          

5. When you have subscribed to all the folders you want, click on OK.
