Webmail Issues

Some K-State email accounts were disabled over the weekend due to a syncing error. The accounts that were inadvertently disabled lost access to email preventing some K-Staters from accessing their email accounts via webmail, mobile devices and other email clients. While the accounts were disabled those impacted were not able to receive new email messages. Anyone sending email to a disabled email account would have received a bounce back error message from Microsoft. Any email sent to K-Staters that were impacted by this issue will need to be resent. Information Technology Services expects all accounts to be returned to normal by this evening. We apologize for the error.
