  • Deleted Items - Messages in the "Deleted Items" folder will be permanently deleted after 30 days. Email in your Inbox and other folders are retained until you delete them.

  • Student Workers - Student workers will have two accounts; for normal student activities they will use NetID@student.montana.edu, but for student worker activities they will use NetID@msu.montana.edu. 

Supported Email Applications

Microsoft Outlook is the supported application for accessing MSU email and calendar services. Outlook is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Outlook on the web is also available through a web browser.

UIT provides configuration and troubleshooting assistance for Outlook and Outlook on the web.

UIT does not provide configuration or troubleshooting support for email applications other than Microsoft Outlook. When troubleshooting an MSU email or calendar issue, UIT may ask you to use Outlook or Outlook on the web to verify that your MSU account and services are working correctly.
