What has changed?

When your mailbox moves to Office 365, you will need to be aware of 2 major changes from what you are used to.

...

Configuring email clients to work with Office 365 is no different than configuring them form the McCombs exchange server except for a change in two key pieces of information.

1. Instead of specifying mail.mccombs.utexas.edu as your servername you specify outlook.office365.com
2. Instead of specifying your login name as mccombs\[username] you use the format [username]@mccombs.utexas.edu (where [username] is your actual McCombs username)
   • note that your password has not changed, just the format for your username
   • note also that although this looks similar to an email address, it is not.
   It is just a variation of your logon name.
   • Your email address has not changed.
   The name of the email server has changed..
   You are probably used to entering mail.mccombs

For example, for a person named Adam Smith with the username SmithA and the email address adam.smith@mccombs.utexas.edu

...

, this person will configure his email client to connect to outlook.office365.com

...

and will use smitha@mccombs.utexas.edu as his login. He will keep the same email address.
