Overview of Service
Drexel is transitioning email to Office 365, which offers better web and mobile device support, calendar and contact integration, 50 GB for storage, and improved email security. Matriculated students and all paid faculty and professional staff are provided with email service through Microsoft Office 365.
Getting Started
Be sure to pick up your accounts at accounts.drexel.edu if you are new to Drexel. To access email:
Via the Web Interface: Sign in with your Drexel email and password at portal.office.com and click the "Mail" tile.
Via Email Client (e.g. Outlook or Apple Mail): You may install Office 2016, including the Outlook desktop client, by signing in to portal.office.com with your Drexel credentials and clicking "Install Office 2016." Once Outlook (or Apple Mail on Macs) is installed, add your email account using your Drexel sign-in credentials.
Via Mobile Device: Set up an Office 365 account in the mail app and sign in with your Drexel credentials.
