Email Functional

Good Afternoon UVI. All email issues have been resolved. The interruption was caused by a Microsoft update and affected organizations using Office 365 in a federated (single sign on) environment. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Sharlene Harris

Email Interruption

Good Morning UVI. We continue to experience interruptions to email service. UVI technicians and Microsoft are investigating. Generally, folks are able to access their accounts through either the desktop, a mobile device or online through the portal. If one method does not work for you, please try another. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Updates will follow. Thank you. Sharlene Harris

If you have not previously configured Microsoft Outlook for your UVI email, please contact the helpdesk at ext 1466 or helpdesk@uvi.edu.
