Written by Diane Gallagher | March 13, 2018

Connecting your mobile device to email and calendars is one of the first steps after your company completes an Office 365 migration. Many of us use the OWA App on our Andriod or iPhone device.

The process starts in April when they will disable install/download of the app. If you use this application, make the switch to the Outlook App asap.

Below are some conveniences that we will miss…

  • MailTips
  • Out of Office Configuration
  • Forwarding Meeting requests
