We recommend using Microsoft Outlook to access your emails directly, to provide you with access to the best features for your email account whilst ensuring you have the very best protection for your accounts.

Users of University managed equipment should find that Outlook is already installed on their device. For home desktop/laptop users, the Microsoft Office app, along with the rest of the Office 365 suite of applications, can be downloaded by logging into Office.com with your university account.

Once you have configured Outlook on your device, following the guides below. Please remember to delete any previous configurations and applications that you may have used to access your accounts to keep your accounts as secure as possible.

Mobile users can download Microsoft Outlook from the Google Play or App Stores using the links below:
   

Open the Outlook application on your PC, Laptop or Mac computer.

Enter your email address, when prompted, to begin signing in to your account:


Then, enter your password

followed by the verification code sent to your mobile or generated by your mobile app.


Next, click OK to allow Outlook to make sure that your device is able to access your account securely.


Windows users may next be informed that Outlook will use Windows Hello user recognition services to help secure your account.
Click OK if prompted to do so, to proceed.


and that's it, you're done.  Click Done to complete the set up process, and proceed to your account.

Open the Outlook app on your device.

Outlook will then check to see which accounts you currently have set up on your device. Click Continue, to go on to the next step.

Outlook will next need to check the security settings on your device, in order to ensure that it is safe for you to access your account using this device.
Click "Activate" when prompted, to allow Outlook to complete this check.


If you do not already have a password or PIN set up on your device, you will next be prompted to set one up.
