[MacTUG] Will the 356 email work on iOS?

[Stephen Markan]

First one word: Eudora

Thunderbird users* would already be having a challenge with accessing our current Exchange environment. They work around this by using IMAP and IMAP has a limited future shelf-life.

Thunderbird users can connect to Exchange using a paid add-on called Exquilla.
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/exquilla-exchange-web-services/

It works well for accessing and reading email. It does not support calendar connections. But if you are only using IMAP – then you also don’t have calendar connections.

There is also an email client called Hiri that does work with Exchange – and works on all major platforms. It is also a bit of a paradigm shift email client so may not be suitable for those that want an old-school email client vibe.

I really think the main issue is going to be the Thunderbird users*. As Stephen pointed out the default android and iOS apps are fine, and I am also an outlook user on iOS and MacOS

*perhaps Pine and Elm and Emacs may also have issues 😉

I will also note that default clients on iOS and most Android builds do work with O365.
uWaterloo undergrads are all on O365 for email. It does work and I have assisted a few students in getting things setup. As long as there is an Exchange connector this is easy-peasy.

Outlook mobile is of course the vendor provided solution – so you will gets some improved access to features via the Outlook mobile client.

On my Android device I have both the default mail app configured and Outlook mobile. I find Outlook mobile a bit clunky for interacting with the calendar.

Regards
Stephen

For what it’s worth, we recommend Outlook mobile as the email client for both iOS and Android.

Try 365 instead.

Couldn't find anything by web search about how iOS will be supported.
