Remove and Re-Add Your Outlook Email/Calendar Account in Supported Email Clients


Starting in Fall 2019, staff groups will begin moving to a new version of Outlook email and calendaring. The new system will offer the campus community an up-to-date web interface for email and calendar. If your group is being migrated, you will be notified via email beforehand.

If you need to access your email or calendar right away, sign in with your netID@umass.edu and your IT account password at outlook.office365.com, and follow these instructions later.

After your group has been migrated to Microsoft Outlook, first reboot your computer or device. This should ensure that your email client or app connects to your new migrated account. If your Outlook email account does not work in your email client or app after rebooting, please follow the steps below to remove and re-add your account.
