Accessing Office 365 E-Mail

OVERVIEW:

The preferred methods for connecting to Office 365 are the Outlook Web Application with a web browser and the Microsoft Outlook clients for Windows and Mac OS. These methods deliver the best level of functionality with the Office 365 services.

Process Considerations:

  • IT does not provide support for accessing email on personal devices. This includes phones, personal computers, tablets, etc. not issued by Information Technology.
  • UW-Madison researched client functionality extensively and published a detailed 'grid' of client compatibility and functionality. Find that document here, in the DoIT Knowledgebase (link opens in new tab).
