Description / Summary: Short description on why CNC is moving to a cloud based mail method.

Why are we migrating to M365?
Historically, CNC's e-mail service has been 'on premises'. This means we are vulnerable to server failures and digital attacks that could result in a total loss of e-mail data. By having our data in 'the cloud', we are better protecting it (and you!) This migration will also enable individual users to use all the tools that Microsoft offers much more fulsomely!
My owa.cnc.bc.ca webmail doesn't work, what happened?
In the past, people at CNC could access webmail via 'owa.cnc.bc.ca'. This link will no longer work, but never fear! You still have complete webmail access at the following link: outlook.office.com! Please update your bookmarks.
What about email apps on my mobile device?
There is a possibility that this migration has caused email apps to stop working. To fix this, there is a fairly simple measure that works for both iPhone and Android users.
Note: we strongly recommend that you use the Official Outlook App on both Android and IOS. If you do not wish to use the official Microsoft app, we cannot guarantee functionality. Thank you for understanding.
