Click Show Profiles and then click Add in the next window and give your profile a name when prompted. The profile name doesn't matter. We recommend you just entire your name.The profile setup wizard will launch after this.

If you encounter subsequent errors in setting up your profile, if may be because you entered a password here. If your profile configuration fails with the message that Exchange is unavailable or an encrypted connection is not available, then retry the process ensuring that you leave the password BLANK on this field.
