How to setup student Email on Android

Summary

Procedure for configuring email on your Android phone

Body

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.
