Get started with Exchange in Office 365

When migrating your email services to Office 365, you need to take a few steps to get started. These steps are explained below. How to install your email on a mobile phone is also explained at the bottom of the page.

Before migrating your email, you will be informed that your email services will be moved to Office 365. To users, this makes no difference. You can continue to use your services as usual.

On the day of the migration, your email client (Outlook or equivalent) will briefly stop receiving emails. This will be indicated with a small message at the bottom of the window (at least in Outlook for PC) stating that the client is trying to connect.

  • Normally, the email interruption is limited to 10–15 minutes after which Outlook or equivalent should work as normal again.
  • You may also get a pop-up prompt asking for your login details. If you have activated your multi-factor authentication, you may get prompted to authenticate.
  • Skype may also be disrupted as it is dependent on the email client to save chat history.

Please note that you will not lose any incoming emails even if you cannot briefly access your inbox.
