Office 365 (Android) - Configure the native email/calendar app for Android
| IMPORTANT: Microsoft just released a version of Outlook which will work with UW-Madison's implementation of Office 365. This application is fully supported by Microsoft. Office 365 team recommends that all users install/use this application instead of the native Android mail/calendaring clients. |
Important: Certain mobile devices that connect to your Office 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 Office 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 Office 365, your device may have the option to connect via IMAP. If connected via IMAP, you will only have access to your email.
Important: We strongly recommend that, when it comes to your calendar, you only use your mobile device for viewing, not accepting or declining meetings. Use Outlook or Outlook Web App (OWA) to accept or decline meetings.
UW-Madison contracts with two wireless carriers (Verizon Wireless and US Cellular) to provide the university staff with discounted rates on cell service. For further details on these services, review the following information: DoIT Cellular Service (Mobile).
