Set up Outlook Mobile at UiO

This guide shows how to set up Outlook Mobile at UiO when you use Microsoft Authenticator as your two‑factor app.

1. Download and install the Outlook Mobile app. Note: The app may be called Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Mobile, depending on the type of phone you have.

• If you have a UiO-owned mobile phone that is enrolled in the Workspace One management system, download Outlook Mobile from the Intelligent Hub app on the device.
• Students and others with privately owned phones/devices should download Microsoft Outlook from the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play (Android).

2. Start the app on your phone (or tablet), and click Add account.
   
   
3. In the welcome screen, click Add account.
   
   
4. In the email address field, enter your UiO username in the format username@uio.no and click the Add account button.

5. Tap Office 365 in the list of email providers.

   

6. The UiO log-in screen appears. Enter your password, and authenticate using multi-factor authentication. Tap Open Authenticator (Microsoft Authenticator) if prompted.
   
    
   
   (Note: If you are already logged in to Microsoft 365 on your device, the UiO log-in screen might not appear.)
   
   
7. In the Add Another Account screen, select Maybe later.
8. You can now use Outlook to send and receive email. You should keep your email tidy and organise it into folders. Delete email you do not need when it arrives, and delete folders with email as the activities they are related to are completed. Remember to archive everything that needs to be archived. You can also set up automatic deletion of email in individual folders based on the age of the email. → See UiO’s cleanup tips (in Norwegian): “Hjelp, jeg må rydde i e‑posten min”
