    2. When prompted, enter your @arizona.edu address in the email field and your NetID password in the password field.

Settings for Other Android Apps

If you prefer not to use the Outlook app on Android, Microsoft provides step-by-step instructions for the the built-in Android app which is available on most devices.

If you have a different preferred app and it supports Exchange, you may be able to use it to set up your university email account.

Use the following information to set up your account:

Note: The Nine email app for Android is one option that supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using Duo Mobile though there may be others.
