this is what you do’, then ‘Find your domain and username’. You
can also follow this link: http://goo.gl/9SXYJ.

choose ‘private computer’, your email address will be saved for
your next logon. From your private computer, you must be certain
that the safety settings comply with the security policy at Aarhus

address, name etc. Please note that searches for recipients are
conducted from left to right which means that a search for a part
of the name, where the beginning is left out, will not yield the
right results. This is especially relevant if a search is attempted by
for instance a middle or a last name.
Select the persons you wish to add as recipients and press ‘To ->’
