Because it is more compatible with the Microsoft 365 mail environment than the built-in Mail app, the free Microsoft Outlook app is the preferred method for accessing your Northwestern email and calendar on your Android device. Simply download it from Google Play. Do not use the Outlook Web App for Android (OWA).
