This article shows how a mass mail account can be configured as a separate profile.
Requesting a Mass Mail Account
Before configuring a mass mail account, you must request a mass mail account by emailing massmail@uconn.edu.
Once you receive credentials for mass mailing from the e-mail team, you can use them to configure a new profile in Outlook and have it prompt you to select which profile to access: your mass mail profile or your normal outlook profile.

To set it up as a separate profile, open Control Panel and click Mail.
Click Show Profiles.
Check “Prompt for a profile to be used” and click add.
Enter the name of your mass mail account in an email format, appending “@appmail.uconn.edu” to the account name and then click OK.
Select Advanced options and Let me setup my account manually check box, and then click Connect.
