How to configure CBC Email on your Android Phone

Note: As of October 2022, Microsoft requires email clients that connect to Exchange to use OAuth 2.0 for authentication. This means that only the official Outlook app is supported to access your student email account.

 

In brief:

1. Download the Outlook app
2. Log in with your CBC email address and password


Detailed procedure:

Note: Your Android phone may look slightly different than what you see below, but the process will generally be the same.

 

1. Open the Play Store app on your Android device.

Authenticator Users

If you have Microsoft Authenticator App you will get a prompt asking you to enter in password in the Authenticator app, otherwise Outlook will simply ask you to enter in your password.
