  • folder-collections=Office365 {outlook.office365.com/ssl/user=your_cnetid@uchicago.edu/auth=xoauth2}[]
  • postponed-folder={outlook.office365.com/ssl/user=your_cnetid@uchicago.edu/auth=xoauth2}Drafts

UChicago GSuite

All modern mail clients have a Google or Gmail option when adding a new account. Please select this account type and, when prompted, enter in cnet@uchicago.edu for your email address. The next step should be the familiar CNET authentication page and Duo prompt. After completing these two prompts, follow any remaining setup steps. Your UChicago GSuite mailbox should be connected.
