Preparing Exchange for SUMail

If you received an email indicating you need to configure your Exchange account in preparation for migration to SUMail, we recommend simply removing your account from the device and reconfiguring the account using the steps below. Configuring your email account with your full email address will properly prepare you for your account's migration. On macOS specifically, you may be required to perform this task AFTER your account is migrated. More migration details are available on the Exchange Email Migration to SUMail page.

There is a known issue configuring some Exchange accounts with Apple Mail in MacOS 10.14 Mojave and MacOS 10.15 Catalina. If you are unable to to update your password or configure your Exchange account in Apple Mail you can access your Syracuse University email by going to the web client at exchange.syr.edu or download the Microsoft's Outlook mail client at portal.office.com.
