Brigham Young University - Idaho

Student E-mail

BYU-I  now uses Outlook Live for student e-mail. However, this will soon as the school migrates to Outlook 365. Your old email will continue to work but will be seperate from your school email.

If you are accessing your account for the first time, you will be promted to select a time zone. We reccommend that you choose the time zone where you are primarily attending school. For most students this will be Rexburg, Idaho (Mountain Time GMT -7:00)

If you prefer to use other e-mail applications such as Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Entourage, or Mac Mail rather than the university's e-mail portal, then refer to Microsoft's support site to find out how to synchronize your preferred application with your BYU-Idaho e-mail account.

In addition, you will now be able to access your e-mail account on your smart phone

• The password can have a maximum length of 16 characters.
• The password is case-sensitive.
• The password can contain
  • Uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Numbers
  • Special characters such as: ' ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = { } | [ ] \ : " ; ' < > ? , . /
• The password can't contain any of the following items:
  • Spaces
  • Non-English characters
  • The account name part of the e-mail address.
    • For example, if the e-mail address is "user@contoso.com," the password can't contain "user".
