Microsoft is rolling out email security enhancements for all customers, including graduate students using Cmail, but you may need to switch email apps before October to keep accessing your inbox. Microsoft has introduced a new method of authentication called Modern Authentication and, on Oct. 1, 2022, apps that don’t support it will lose access to Cmail. If your email app doesn’t support Modern Authentication you will need to download the Microsoft Outlook app for all mobile, desktop and laptop devices, or switch to Outlook on the Web using a browser. For next steps, visit our information page or contact the ITS Service Desk.
