 ===== Configure Your VA Hosted Exchange Account on Windows PC with Outlook =====
 **Add a new account/profile to Outlook**
-There are a few ways to do this.  I usually go to Control Panel, Mail, Show Profiles, Add.  It kind of depends on how the PC you are on has been used in the past and if it already has a profile in Outlook.  In any case this is the screen you need to get to:
+There are a few ways to do this.  Open Outlook and if there are no other accounts configured it will start the wizard correctly.

+Fill this in with your e-mail address and password.  Check save my password unless for security reasons you would rather input your password every time you start Outlook and click **OK**.
-**You may choose Send from this account by default or leave these settings as is -> Tap Next -> Next**
+{{:quick_guide:05_outlook.png|}}
-{{:quick_guide:06settingsdefaultok.png?200|}}
+Clicking  **OK** here should get your account setup.  The first time starting Outlook you may get the same popup using the wrong account. Go through the procedure above picking the correct account one more time. After this initial setup Outlook will open correctly.
-:!: Note:Exchange will require that some security features be enabled on the phone and you will have to answer yes to those features.
-<note important>For security, the settings changes will force the use of a numeric PIN to unlock your phone instead of using a pattern.</note>
