If just want to manage your Exchange email account on the Mac, you can use the Mac Mail app to connect to your account using Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol (POP). Set up Exchange account access using Outlook for Mac. If you have Outlook for Mac, you can use it to access your Exchange account.
- Microsoft Office makes it easy to work on the go, with mobile access to your Office tools. Use Office for free or unlock even more Office features when you log in with your Microsoft 365 account. Whether using it for personal or professional reasons, the Office app is designed to be your go-to app for getting work done on a mobile device.
- Finally on the App Store, but still not up to par I hated the Microsoft Updater, so going straight through the App Store makes me very happy! However I still hate that the Windows version of Office and the Mac verison of Office are so different. The menu layouts are just completely different when it comes to submenus.
- Add your Microsoft 365 email to Mail. Then you can send and receive business emails from your Mac. Watch a short video of this task farther down the page. (If this is your first time using Mail, opening the app will start the process.) From the menu bar, select Mail Add Account. Select Exchange and Continue.
Hello Community,
My customers that are using their iPhones and the native Mail app with their Office 365 work/school accounts or a.k.a. Exchange Online have again started to feel the pain of Microsoft adding and enabling more security in Office 365.
Once modern authentication is enabled in the Office 365 tenant, user are prompted continuously to enter their password and while trying to do that the Edit Settings pop-up keeps showing during that process which confuses some users while others know to just clear that pop-up message and continue on with the process. So, moving from basic to OAuth, what's the problem with the Mail app? Does the Mail app not support OAuth?
At this stage, a user cannot create an app password because MFA is not enabled for them. Enabling MFA only doubles the issue. Now the user can create an app password, but with iOS 12 the Mail app just doesn't like it and the issue remains, continuous password prompt.

Any other O365 admins running into this? There are several threads running on Microsoft forums but no one seems to have a clear answer. Any workarounds discovered?
While I am all for making users switch to using the Microsoft Outlook, some don't because of they are used to using the Mail app and it's integrations with the other apps and cross-platform with MacOS.
These new security settings are also affecting the Mail app on MacOS.
Apple what's the deal?
