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 it@sci.utah.edu.
