It should be noted that only the UW @wisc.edu mail account is allowed to be added to the @slh.wisc.edu account by policy. Also, Our computer use policy states that users are required to use WSLH email for WSLH business but there are some who would prefer to open their UW Office365 mailbox in Outlook so they can read their mail. Doing so has risks and limitations and is therefore somewhat discouraged. Only WSLH email is filtered for SPAM through our mail gateways. Any SPAM received in a person’s Office365 mailbox has to be dealt with from within Office365. From the Office365 web client, users have options to report SPAM and PHISHING back to the Office of Cybersecurity at UW-Madison. There are also HIPAA implications should emails be sent from anything other than your WSLH mail account. WSLH email systems can detect and encrypt ePHI if the user fails to do so themselves. UW Office365 users have to “manually encrypt” messages using the Office365 web portal.
Disclaimer: We will provide minimal support with this configuration (you can read your email but don’t expect to hook it in with Teams, other add-ons or complexities that are best suited from the Office365 web portal).
