The university recommends using the Outlook mobile app due to its robust features. These features include: management of shared mailboxes, categorization of messages, ability to create inbox rules and the ability to view colleagues’ calendars, just as you can on the desktop program.

   • If the Account type is not automatically detected, select Office 365.
5. Enter your email Password.
6. If you have the two-step authentication application set up on your phone, you can approve the sign in request. Otherwise you will need to enter a one-time passcode. It will ask if you want to add another account, you can add another account now or choose to add it later.

The University is moving to Exchange Online (Cloud Hosted) to unify student and faculty/staff email services into a single and more secure solution. This move includes adding additional security measures to protect our network from threats that may come through your email.

In addition, moving to Exchange Online will provide a better webmail (OWA) experience and enable greater functionality with other Microsoft 365 applications, such as Teams and OneDrive.

More information can be found at /ums/is/data-security-program.

Beginning on Jan. 5, 2021, email accounts will be migrated in batches. There are two parts to this process: first your email data will be synced to Exchange Online. There is no impact to using your email during this phase. The second part is the cutover at which point a second smaller sync will happen, and your mailbox location will move to Exchange Online.

When your email account is scheduled to be cutover you will be notified in advance via email. We expect the entire migration project to take two to three months.

You may be able to tell when your account is moving. You may notice that Outlook is not able to connect to the mail server. Due to the process we are using to move mailboxes, we are unable to tell you an exact date/time that your particular mailbox will move. The move will only happen once per account, so if you experience multiple outages, that is not intentional and users experiencing this should contact their IT Help Desk.

Yes, in the following ways:

• The mobile browser client will not work after the move, as it is tied to the Exchange email servers. You will need to download the Outlook Mobile App, as it is the only mobile client that is compatible.
• If you have rules set up on Outlook, you will need to double check that they are still working; the move may break/change some of the rule definitions.

No, the email migrations are being completed in terms of size of each mailbox. The migrations are not scheduled based on groups, departments, campus or academic units.

Yes, you can continue using your email as normal during the initial email data sync.

The time it takes to migrate your email will vary based on the size of your mailbox. During the syncing process, you can continue to use your email without interruption. Once the cutover is finalized, you will need to restart Outlook, use the new and potentially update your mobile devices per the below FAQs.

No, you will keep all existing email, contacts and calendar after your mailbox is migrated.

No, your email address and any aliases you have will stay the same.

Once your email has been migrated, you will be prompted to restart Outlook. You might be prompted to log in; if so, please use YourUserID@umsystem.edu and your password. For most cases this will be the only action needed.

More information on configuring Outlook on your workstation can be found here.

Depending on your mobile email client, your experience may vary. If you are running Outlook on your mobile device, no changes should be needed.

If you are running an iOS or Android mail app or another third-party mail app, you will need to download and configure Outlook for Mobile. See the Mobile Client Information section above for more information.

The URL used to access your email on the web will change once your email account has been migrated. The new URL is . Please update any bookmarks you may have saved.

In rare instances, your incoming email may not be immediately available during the cutover. Waiting for your account to complete migration and restarting Outlook usually corrects this. Another option is to log in to to view your email on the web.

If you continue to have issues, please contact your IT help desk.

There are a few ways to know once your migration is complete:

1. Outlook will prompt you to restart and sign into your account
2. You will only be able to access your webmail at
3. You stop recieving email on your mobile device, indicating you may need to upgrade your mail app setup.

Yes, resource accounts will be migrated later. Communications will be sent prior to the migration.

Until resource accounts are migrated, they must be accessed via Outlook for Desktop. They cannot be accessed via OWA.

When your mailbox is migrated, you may notice something that says Focused Inbox. Focused Inbox separates your inbox into two tabs - Focused and Other.

Your email messages deemed most important are on the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible - but out of the way - on the Other tab.

Outlook for Mobile does not include the ability to sync Outlook notes with iOS. Our recommended options are to migrate your notes to Microsoft OneNote or Google Keep, both of which are full-featured note taking applications and work on multiple platforms. For assistance with this please reach out to your local help desk.

The migration causes changes on the back end that could affect sending to a person or distribution list (group) you have sent to previously. You can fix this by deleting the cached version of the contact.

Do this by clicking the small “x” that is in the corner when you type the name into the “To” field when sending an email. You can delete all cached addresses using these instructions:

1. In Outlook, click the File menu.
2. From the File menu, click the Options button.
3. In the Options, click the Mail tab and scroll down to the Send Messages section.
4. Click the Empty Auto-Complete List button.
5. A confirmation box will appear, click Yes. The Auto-Complete cache will be erased.

This is a side effect of mailbox migration and could pop up multiple times. You will need to restart Outlook when it pops up.

If you continue to have issues, please contact your IT help desk.
