To protect organizational email data on mobile devices, ITS, Student Financial Services, WVU Tech and Potomac State College are piloting application protection policies ensuring your WVU mailbox is only accessible through the Outlook app or Outlook Web Access (OWA). Follow these instructions to install the Outlook mobile app if you are part of the pilot group. 

WVU email and calendars cannot be accessed in the native mail/calendar apps after these policies are applied. Use the Outlook app or OWA on mobile devices to view email and calendars. This method is the least intrusive option for protecting University data on personal mobile devices. 

For more information about this initiative, policy settings or troubleshooting, read thOutlook Protection Policy Pilot (tech only) article.
