A. Email Shut Down and Migration to Office 365
Mason's current email system (MEMO) for faculty and staff will shut down permanently at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 12. Faculty and staff will move to a new email system at 7:00 p.m., called Office 365. Most of your email has already been moved to Office 365. The remaining email (received on and after April 2) will be moved this weekend. Your email address will not change.
B. Options to Access Email
There are 3 ways to access email and use your new Office 365 account.
1. Web Access - The easiest (and preferred) way is through the Outlook Web App. To log in, simply go to the login page at http://office365.gmu.edu.
2. Mobile Device - Follow device-specific directions to configure your mobile device by going to http://office365.gmu.edu and clicking on "Configurations" on the left menu for detailed instructions.
3. Desktop Email Client - The common desktop email clients are Outlook 2010 for Windows, and Thunderbird and Outlook 2011 for Mac. You must reconfigure your email client to connect to Office 365.
