There are different ways to access umail. One of the requirements is to use Two Factor Authentication (2FA/DUO). In general, any mail client that supports OAUTH2, in theory should be able to work with Umail. We have been testing and evaluating different methods. The table below represents successful connections to read and send emails through Universtiy Exchange mail server (umail). This is not a comprehensive list. If you would like us to test any speific email client, please make sure to send us a note to .
Incoming serverServer Type: IMAP Mail Server
Server Name: outlook.office365.com
User Name: <unid>@umail.utah.edu
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: OAuth2
port: 993
Either install Thunderbird, or go to account settings to add one.
Once you enter email address and password, ‘Configure Manually’ will show up. Click to configure manually.
Enter values as shown above for both Incoming and outgoing servers. Please note Authentication method is set to ‘Autodetect’ and ‘Done’ is still not enabled to click. At this point, test the settings by clicking on ‘Re-test’. Once mail server is contacted, option ‘OAth2’ will be populated into Authentication method pull down menu. Select OAth2 for both incoming and outgoing servers.
‘Done’ button will be enabled.
Click on ‘Done’. A new windows will pop up to authenticate you with umail server.
Enter values to sign in. Another window will pop up to send a push to your cell/watch for 2FA (two factor authentication).
After being authenticated, go back to Thunderbird account settings and click on ‘Done’ again. You can select to stay logged in on next pop up window. After all being set, final page will show up.
