In 2019, Microsoft fundamentally changed its licensing model.
Previously, the licence provided blanket use of all Microsoft products for all members of the university. Under the new model, the University is required to purchase appropriate licences from three defined levels, which contain different ranges of products. The appropriate licence is then assigned to individual users.
Some staff have been assigned the licence that involves moving their email account in the cloud.
Those staff, whose email account is being moved, are being contacted directly and will be guided through the process.
Having the mailbox in the cloud (Microsoft "Exchange Online") brings a number of benefits, including better integration with other Microsoft products, and enables the University to take the next steps to harness the opportunities of cloud technology.
To find out more about using your email account if it has been moved to Exchange Online, visit the following related knowledge articles:

Outlook will stay the same but instead of Webmail, use Outlook on the Web
After your account has been upgraded, to access your email via the web, you will need to log in via a different route – log in at office.com and click the Outlook app icon. You will then be prompted for your username and password. Remember to enter your username in the format username@liverpool.ac.uk.
