From your current SHU email account, send an email to helpdesk@shu.edu or call x2222 (that's 973-761-9000, x2222 from outside the law school) and request that your SHU email account be converted for IMAP Outlook use. Use the phrase "Convert my account to IMAP" and a service request ticket will be created for you in the University IT tracking system.  It will then be forwarded to a systems technician and an IMAP conversion will be run on your account.  The whole process should take up to 48 hours, depending on the volume of requests...
