Outlook for iOS Setup
This document contains instructions on how to set up email with the Microsoft email client. Microsoft does not recommend native clients (such as Apple Mail) for use with Office 365 as there are often modifications to functionality.
Information Technology will offer assistance setting up native client email but certain issues may require the use of a Microsoft client to be resolved. Therefore, only Outlook support is provided below.
