Email & Calendar
Comprehensive documentation on how to access and use the University's Office 365 email and calendar services as well as set up accounts in client software (such as Outlook) or on a mobile device.
Access your Office 365 email & calendar via a web browser (Recommended)
Enter your University Username (UUN) in the format uun@ed.ac.uk (for example: s1234567@ed.ac.uk or jbloggs@ed.ac.uk ), and your password.
This is the method the University recommends above all others as users log directly into the service instead of via a third-party client, thereby providing the most accurate and up-to-date access.
Connecting to Office 365 email & calendar via client software
If you wish to use an email client, the University strongly recommends using Outlook. As part of the University's Office 365 suite of services and applications, Outlook fully integrates and supports modern, more secure authentication.
Many third party email clients still use Basic authentication methods to connect to email services, but this method of connection will be disabled by Microsoft by the end of 2022.
