Spartan Mail
Before You Begin
If you are unsure which version of Office (and Outlook) you are running, you can open Outlook and from the File menu, select Account or Office Account. If you don't see something indicating Microsoft 365 (i.e you see 2016 or other version), you should update your software as soon as possible to avoid any issues.
If you are using a university owned computer, please check with your local desktop support staff for information on how to have the latest (Office 365) version of Office and Outlook installed on your computer.
If you are using your own computer, information on downloading and installing Office on your own computer is available at LINK NEEDED (link).
Steps
- Open Outlook
- Enter a Profile Name (we recommend using your NetID)
- Select OK
- Enter your MSU email address
- Select Connect
- Select Office 365 as the account type
- Enter your MSU NetID password
- Select Sign In
- Select to fill the Allow my organization to manage my device checkbox

You have the option of adding additional email addresses at this time, but none more are required for Spartan Mail to function.
