Request a new department mailbox
To request a new department mailbox, fill out the Mailbox Request Form.
Department Mailbox Permissions
Have your supervisor give you the appropriate role and permissions within Role Manager in order to access a mailbox. Being an administrator of the role will not give you permission to access a mailbox, instead a user (including supervisors and other role administrators) must be added to the role in order to access the mailbox. Keep in mind these requested changes may take up to 3 hours.

1. Select the Email tab after signing in at http://my.byui.edu.
2. Select your user profile icon in the top-right corner of the window.
3. From the drop-down menu that appears, select Open another mailbox.
4. Enter the department email address. Select Open.

In order to access a department email on your mobile device, you will need to input the mailbox URL directly into your browser. Use https://outlook.office.com/owa/mailbox@byui.edu (where mailbox is the actual name of the mailbox you are trying to access).
Department email cannot be accessed through mobile email clients such as iOS Mail or Outlook.
