Accessing your email on the web

The easiest way to access your Scouts Victoria email in is on the web.

After you sign-in, you will see your emails, and be able to read and manage your emails.



The emails you see when you log in have been sent to you directly.

To check emails that have been sent to a role or team like GL.windyhill@scoutsvictoria.com.au, or scouts.windyhill@scoutsvictoria.com.au, please see How do I use a Shared Mailbox?

Accessing your email on your phone

Download the Outlook app for Apple or Android to get started.

After you download the app, you will be prompted to sign-in using your Scouts Victoria username and password.




Accessing your email with Outlook Desktop App

To access your email using outlook on the desktop, you will need to already have a license for outlook (i.e. an existing personal license, or licensed by an organization)

To set up Outlook, click file > add account if you are already using outlook. If not, Outlook will prompt you to sign in with your account when you start it.

After you sign in, your shared mailboxes will be available under your primary mailbox on the left of the screen.




Accessing your email using another mail program (outlook, apple mail, windows mail, etc)
