Article Number: 450 | Rating: 1/5 from 2 votes | Last Updated: Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 10:20 PM

Recommended clients

Outlook 2013/2010 for Windows and Outlook 2011 for Mac will provide the best functionality when accessing Office 365. In addition to these desktop clients, the web client for Office 365, Office Web App, is also recommended.

Other clients, such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail/Calendar, and previous versions of Outlook, will function in use with Office 365 but each will have uniquely limited functionality and features.

Supported Protocols

Office 365 can support the following protocols: Exchange (MAPI), ActiveSync, browser (Office Web App), EWS (Exchange Web Services) IMAP, and POP3. Office 365 does not support calendar standard (CalDAV) and address book standard (CardDAV) protocols.
