Once your Bishop’s email/calendar has been transitioned to the cloud, you will need to update some of the configurations on your personal or home devices in order to start receiving your email and/or access to your calendar again.
Note that after the upgrade, the best way to access your email & calendar is using Microsoft’s official Outlook software, either from the Office 365 portal or by downloading and installing Outlook on your home and mobile devices.
If you already had your email setup on a home or mobile device, select a link below which will detail the minor change you will need to make to the software to continue using that application:
