*Please note that Microsoft will soon require an authentication protocol known as, “OAuth2”, for IMAP and SMTP email applications and clients. These directions and screen shots were created using the latest available build, as of September 2020, for Mozilla Thunderbird, 78.2.1, which supports that authentication. Please ensure you have updated your application to at least this version.
*Screen shots for Mac and Windows versions differ slightly, but use the same procedure and information.
1.) Click "New Account"
2.Configure incoming server settings
- Protocol: IMAP
- Hostname: outlook.office365.com
- Port: 993
- Authentication Method: OAuth2
- Username: Your full email address
3.) Configure outgoing server settings
- Protocol: SMTP
- Hostname: outlook.office365.com
- Port: 587
- Connection Security: STARTTLS
- Authentication method: OAuth
Then click the "Test" button to verify settings.
After clicking Test the screen will show the note, “The following settings were found by probing the given server.”
Click continue.
You will be redirected to the WyoLogin authentication window. Authenticate with your UW account credentials. Your 2-Factor authentication may also be required if you are located off-campus.
Some Macs may be presented with a, “Permissions requested”, window. Choose Accept.
Thunderbird should now be configured and in a few moments begin synchronizing your e-mail and folders.
