Background

The University of Helsinki is migrating to the Microsoft 365 mail and calendar system. The system also contains other applications supporting co-operation. 

In practice, this means that e-mails to Firstname.Lastname@helsinki.fi are directed to the Microsoft 365 system. For reading e-mails, the Outlook application or the browser application Outlook Web App is recommended.
