10. Post-Migration to Office 365 - General Tips and Smart Phone Setup

Welcome to Microsoft Office 365!  Your organization is moving to a responsive, cloud-based solution for Microsoft Exchange email, Skype for business communications, and SharePoint for intranet portals.  

Post-Migration Steps

Your migration will automatically repoint your Microsoft Outlook 2010 and above to the Office 365 service.  You may be prompted to close Outlook and re-open to complete this process.

Outlook Web App Access

Your webmail, known as Outlook Web App, is accessible at http://mail.yourdomain.com.  For example, if your website domain is MyBikeStore.com, your webmail is http://mail.MyBikeStore.com.

Setting up Email on your Smart Phone

Your smart phone will need to be setup to access email again.  This process involves deleting your existing smart phone organizational email account and then re-adding it.  In the subsequent pages, this document explains recreating this account for common smart phones as provided by Microsoft.
