How to access your new mailbox

Before you access your new mailbox for the first time, you need to change your UKZN password via Password Self-Service
Then, open a browser and go to https://www.outlook.com
Sign in using
- your new email username: [email protected] (Do you see the ‘my’ that’s been added in to your email address?)
- and the password that you just changed.
Your mailbox opens.
