If you are using an email client other than Outlook and Microsoft 365 or Office 365 is not a setup option, we recommend selecting the Exchange setup option and only using the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) option if there is no other choice. When configuring your email client to work with your USC mailbox, we recommend selecting the Microsoft 365 setup wizard (choose when setting up Outlook). This page provides links to documentation on how to configure your email client to access Office 365.

MAPI/HTTP connections are designated in the Protocol column using the string HTTP.Īdditionally, if MAPI/HTTP is disabled, Microsoft 365 users receive a Basic Authentication prompt instead of a Modern Authentication prompt.ITS highly recommends using the Outlook email client or Outlook Web App (OWA) to access your USC Office 365 email. :::image type="content" source="./media/outlook-not-connect-exchange-use-mapi-over-http/rpc-http-protocol.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Outlook connection status dialog, which shows the Protocol column as RPC/HTTP."::: For example, the following figure shows a connection using RPC/HTTP. In the above scenario, the Protocol column in the Outlook Connection Status dialog shows Outlook 2013 is connected to the Exchange server using a connection mechanism other than MAPI/HTTP.

The necessary server settings to establish MapiHttp connections are correctly configured.The Exchange mailbox and Client Access (CAS) servers that you're connecting to all have Exchange Server 2013 SP1 or a later version installed or Exchange Server 2016.You're connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 SP1 or Exchange Server 2016 mailbox.You're using Microsoft Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1), or a later version.Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, or Outlook for Microsoft 365 doesn't connect Exchange using MAPI over HTTP as expected
