All email lives in the cloud at Microsoft 365 and is accessible from anywhere. Benefits of using Microsoft 365 Outlook include increased mailbox sizes limits up to 50GB, online archive to store old email up to 100GB, capability to send attachments up to 25MB and unlimited storage in the public cloud.
In addition, Microsoft O365 Outlook is the only university-supported email client and is highly recommended for accessing your University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus email. In addition, OIT recommends installing the O365 Outlook app on your mobile device from the iOS and Android App store. Once you add the Outlook app to your phone, you can go to Settings and add other personal accounts such as Gmail.
The university now uses Duo to provide additional authentication - to prove you are who you say you are - before accessing Outlook from off-campus. Use the Microsoft 365 Outlook desktop or mobile application for easiest access to your email. Remember that after MFA is implemented, if you are accessing Outlook from off-campus or your mobile phone, you will be prompted for MFA through Duo about every 90 days as long as you are using the Outlook application.
Please note: If you use a web browser such as Chrome or Internet Explorer to access web mail instead of the Outlook application, you will be challenged for MFA every time you open a new browser session. For convenience, OIT suggests installing the Outlook application on your mobile and personal devices so you're only prompted to authenticate about every 90 days.
Next steps after installing the Outlook app on your computing devices including your phones, laptops, desktops and tablets:
Microsoft has a new licensing model that all CU Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus users and systems are being transitioned to requiring conversion of resource mailboxes to shared mailboxes in Office 365.
