Outlook on the web
Is your email not working?
Metropolia will move email mailboxes to the cloud in summer 2026. If your mailbox has already been moved, it will no longer work in the old way. Read your email at outlook.office365.com.
When your email stops working in the old way, enable the cloud settings on all your devices by carefully following the instructions in:
