These instructions apply to Apple Mail running on Mac OS X 10.11 and above. See Configure Apple Mail for Previous Versions of OS X if you are running OS X 10.9 or 10.10.
You can configure the Mail app to connect to your email and calendar events on the Office 365 server.
IMPORTANT: After configuring Apple Mail, be sure to change the Trash setting to never permanently erase messages. Otherwise, you won't be able to restore deleted messages.
If you're the Microsoft 365 admin of an Office for business plan, users in your organization can only install Office using the steps in this topic as long as your plan includes the desktop version of Office, and you've assigned the user a license and given them permission to install Office (Manage software download settings in Microsoft 365).

Recommended setting
Office 365 accounts are not backed up. However, Outlook on the web and some desktop versions of Outlook let you recover deleted items that are no longer visible in the Deleted Items folder.
In Apple Mail you can set how long to keep messages in the Trash folder. Once a message is permanently erased in Apple Mail it cannot be recovered from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook on the web. We recommend setting Apple Mail to never permanently erase deleted messages.

Plans to consolidate USF email systems have been accelerated due to conditions surrounding remote learning and the USF campus consolidation. Having all students, faculty and staff on the same email system will allow for improved communication and collaboration. In support of this effort, USF has changed the official email address for all students from @mail.usf.edu (gmail) to @usf.edu (Microsoft Office 365) effective May 8, 2020. If you are already using your new @usf.edu address, no further action is required.
This means that official messages from USF (including from OASIS, CANVAS and other departments) are now being sent to your new @usf.edu address. Important points:
