Logging into email using Outlook Web app in a browser

Employees can access their college email through a browser for access off campus instead of using the Outlook desktop client installed on campus machines. The Outlook Web App is part of the Office 365 suite.

Use your Microsoft 365 log in credentials for all Microsoft 365 applications

Microsoft 365 Log In

  1. Go to outlook.office.com 

  2. Username:  StarID@minnstate.edu (this is not your email address)

  3. Password: StarID password

  4. Authenticate log in using MFA

Email Address format:  firstname.lastname@minneapolis.edu or firstname.lastname.2@minneapolis.edu (you cannot use this to sign-in to your account)

View your email address at -  myaccount.microsoft.com

If you are unable to log in, try resetting your StarID password on the StarID Self Service site. It can take up to 4 hours for a password change to work with your email.

You cannot reset your email password on the Microsoft page. You must use StarID Self Service.

  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and under the Information For sections

Troubleshooting your email log in

  • It can take up to 4 hours for your password change to take effect with your email. To verify your new password is working, log into eServices. If you can log into eServices after a password reset, your email should work within 4 hours. If you are unable to access your employee email, it is recommended you change your StarID password at starid.minnstate.edu. You cannot reset your email password from the Microsoft page.

  • The "Can't access your account" link is not enabled for minnstate.edu accounts. You will need to reset your StarID password at the StarID Self Service Site at starid.minnstate.edu. 

  • If you are having trouble logging in or with the page loading, try clearing your browser history including your cache, or try using a different browser.
