Other mail apps (not listed here)

There are many email applications available, so we cannot provide instructions for every app. If your app supports adding an Exchange Online or Office 365/Microsoft 365 account, it may be possible to add your UFV account. However, the IT Service Desk may not be able to support your app if you encounter an issue. If the application does not work with your account or your device, the solution will be to use Outlook desktop, mobile, or on the web.
