\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Much (all undergraduate, some postgraduate) student email is now hosted by the Microsoft Office365 (henceforth O365) cloud service. You can tell if you’re using O365 if, after logging into the Qmail<\/a> service, the server suggests you direct your browser to outlook.com<\/em> instead of the Queen’s site (see left image). In addition the top left corner of your webmail will say Office365 in large friendly letters (though it does not tell you not to panic<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you want to use Apple’s Mail with O365 you can via IMAP<\/a> and SMTP<\/a>, but it’s not entirely obvious how to do so – hopefully these notes will assist. Unfortunately the exact process tends to vary a bit with each release of Mail, so depending on what version of OS X you’re running the steps may be slightly different, but the basic process is similar.<\/p>\n

1. Starting up<\/h1>\n

\"\"Open the Add Account dialog from Mail’s Preferences\/Accounts<\/em> section, and select Add O<\/em>ther Mail Account<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

2. Your details<\/h1>\n

\"\"Provide your name, email address, and QOL password. After clicking Create<\/em> you will see a message about manually configuring your account, and asking for more information.<\/p>\n

3. Incoming server<\/h1>\n
