Quick Start Checklist
From getting ready to move, to your first day in Outlook. Follow these steps and you'll be up and running in no time.
Before you move: clear out large attachments
Sort your Notes mail by size and deal with any email over about 149 MB, so nothing gets left behind when your mailbox migrates.
Large Attachments Guide→Sign in to your new Microsoft 365 account
Go to portal.office.com and sign in with your work email and the temporary password from IT.
Sign-In & MFA Guide→Set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Download Microsoft Authenticator on your phone and complete the MFA setup when prompted.
MFA Setup Guide→Open Outlook and check your email
Open the Outlook app on your computer or go to outlook.office.com. Your emails from Notes are waiting for you, and your @seaway.ca address is unchanged.
Outlook Guide→Find the shared mailboxes you use
If your team monitored a mail-in database in Notes, it is now a shared mailbox in Outlook. Look in the left sidebar, below your personal folders.
Shared Mailboxes Guide→Install Outlook on your phone
Download Microsoft Outlook from the App Store or Google Play so you can read work email on the go.
Mobile Setup Guide→Check your calendar in Outlook
Click the Calendar icon in Outlook to see your upcoming meetings. They have all been migrated over.
