As a reminder, Information Technology does not support personal computers and mobile devices/phones.
The Microsoft Outlook app is recommended for accessing your GCCCD email on your mobile device. The functionality of the older methods of configuring email described below may no longer work due to new security protocols with Microsoft’s O365 cloud infrastructure.
The Microsoft Outlook app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store for IOS or Google Play for Android.
