NOTE:
Portability and ease of use makes "the web" the recommended way to access your JSU e-mail.

There are a number of ways in which you can configure your MS Outlook, among them: POP ("old way"), IMAP (described below), and probably the newest (and may be easiest?), Google Apps Sync for Microsoft.
Start Menu > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Outlook.
Tools > Account Settings.
E-mail Accounts > E-mail > New > Add new e-mail account > Manually configure server settings or additional server types > Next.
Internet E-mail > Next.
