Beginning October 3rd 2022, only email clients that support modern authentication will work with our MS365 service. These clients are indicated with a “Y” in the table below.
The BEST options are to use the Outlook client or the Outlook Web Application (OWA) through a web browser.
This change has been made because your cyber security is important to us and Microsoft, MS365 modern authentication helps protects your account from being compromised.
How to use the information in the table below:
- Find the platform you use to access your email in the top row.
- Read down that column to find the options with a “Yes”.
- Find the name of the email client in the left column.
- Only use those options
Example: Suppose you own an iPhone. iPhones run iOS so you could use the iOS Outlook client, the OWA web client, or the Mac Mail client to access your NU MS365 email from your iPhone.
