Check: Connect using SSL only
Check: On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP
Use this authentication when connecting to my proxy server for Exchange:

There have been cases where users have difficulties opening their internet mail using the URL https://vefpóstur.bifrost.is.
If this happens, use the following link:  https://213.167.155.175/owa
The best way to log in is to use: username@bifrost.is  (not the e-mail address, but, e.g., the bifnumber) in the upper window and the password in the lower window.
On campus, it should be sufficient to enter: vefpostur.bifrost.is or https://vefpostur.bifrost.is
