What is Outlook email?

Exchange/Outlook is the email client for Full-time faculty and staff.  Exchange is the online version of Outlook.  You can use this tab to access your email from a computer outside of your office. When you are in your office, continue to use the "Outlook" icon on your desktop to access your email and calendar.

Why do I see an Outlook  Mail tab and a Gmail apps Tab?

Staff and Full-time Faculty see the "Outlook mail" tab. This is their official college email account (@msmc.edu).
Students and Adjunct Faculty see the "Gmail" tab, their official college email account (@my.msmc.edu). 

If you belong to two groups, for example, you are a staff member and also a student, you will have access to both tabs.

Full-time faculty will also see a "Gmail" tab. This will allow you to collaborate with your students in the various G Suite tools. You may want to forward your messages to your Outlook account, so you do not miss any emails fromyour students.

(Your Full-time Faculty Outlook account is your official college communication email address.)
