Objective
Following these steps will add your Spartan Mail account to a local Windows 10 Mail app.
Environment
Windows 10
Win10 Mail Client
Before You Begin
Note that email clients such as Windows Mail (currently) that support modern authentication will work with the Spartan / Microsoft 365 service on a self-support basis.
However, if you are no longer licensed for the use of the MS Outlook client for Windows, the BEST options is to use the Outlook Web Application (OWA) through a web browser, at https://spartanmail.msu.edu.
To avoid loss of messages or other data if you choose to configure an account instead of using spartanmail.msu.edu:
- Add a new account to begin checking your Spartan Mail messages on a new mail client app.
- Disable but do not delete the old/existing account login or mail sync option. This will preserve any messages, contacts, or calendar entries that are only saved on your device.
Steps
- Select the Windows icon in the lower left.
- Select Mail.
- Select the plus ( + ) sign in the dialog.
- Select Exchange and follow the prompts.
- Enter your MSU email address in the form of NetID@msu.edu
- Enter your password (must be less than 365 days old).
- You're done! You've added your Spartan Mail account to Win10 Mail.
