Microsoft 365 Email/Calendar on iPhone/iPad

This article applies to: Email @ Cornell , Microsoft Outlook

We recommend that you use Microsoft’s Outlook App for iOS rather than iOS’s native app. See Microsoft’s Outlook App for iOS Mobile support page for download and setup instructions. In addition to the steps listed there, you will also see Cornell’s NetID login screen.

If you follow this recommendation, you do NOT need the rest of the information presented here.

If you need information about viewing EGA resource accounts in the Outlook app on an iOS device, see View Resource Accounts in Outlook for iOS.

If you ignore our advice and choose to use iOS’s native mail app, follow the steps below to configure your device for the Cornell environment.

We strongly recommend that, when it comes to your calendar, you only use your mobile device for viewing, not accepting or declining meetings.

Use Outlook on your computer or Outlook on the web to accept or decline meetings.
