Microsoft 365 (iOS) - Configure the native email/calendar app for iPhone, iPad, iPod

This document explains how to add or reconfigure your UW-Madison email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Important: To begin using modern authentication protocols for Microsoft 365 through the native email/calendar app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod, please proceed to Reconfigure iPhone/iPad/iPod to use Modern Authentication section.

Which OS versions support Modern Authentication for an Microsoft 365 account?

iOS 11 or later, iPadOS 13.1 or later, and macOS 10.14 or later support Microsoft Modern Authentication workflows.

Important: Certain mobile devices that connect to your Microsoft 365 account via the Exchange/ActiveSync protocol can be remotely wiped. This is a useful feature that can help protect your privacy. Please read about Microsoft 365 remote device wipe to see if your device supports this, and learn how it works. If you do not want remote wipe capability via Microsoft 365, your device may have the option to connect via IMAP. If connected via IMAP, you will only have access to your email.
