The EXSEED Diary

The EXSEED diary system uses Microsoft Exchange and is run by IS. All Staff, PGRs and most visitors have a diary account. Associated with the diary is an exseed mailbox.  For Engineering users this is only needed for making the calendar work, you shuld not use it for sending/reading your email.  Some non calendar email may appear in your exseed account but it should also be in your Staffmail/SMS account.  If this is not the case then please place a SeeSup Helpdesk call (see below).

Windows users can access the diary by using:

  1. The Internet Explorer Web Interface (OWA) at - www.exseed.ed.ac.uk (his is probably the easiest option for most Windows users)
  2. Thunderbird with the Lightning Plugin - Install instructions
  3. Outlook - Outlook needs only to be used if you are a "power" user [i.e. needing to setup delegates and doing other complex things].
    Outlook can be added to your office setup by running: N:\packages\UserInstallable\MSOffice\Configure-Office.bat and ticking the Outlook box.
    Install instructions
    Note if you wish to use Outlook for accessing the calendar we strongly recommend that you continue to use thunderbird to read your email (SMS, Staffmail or EE) i.e. only setup Outlook to read the calendar.

Unix/Linux users should access the diary using:

  1. Thunderbird with the Lightning Plugin. Instructions for configuring and using Thunderbird are available here

Mobile device users should access the diary by reading:
