If your company uses MS o365 services, you can use the following clients/settings.
Be reminded that o365 is a (us-based) cloud hosted groupware service.
* '''Outlook PWA'''
: Pro: quick config
: Con: no offline functionality
: Go to https://outlook.office.com with Chromium browser and login with your credentials.
: When you move the mouse pointer in the browsers very right edge of the address bar you'll have the ability to install the Outlook PWA on your localhost

* '''Evolution'''
: Pro: quick config method, offers additional offline functionality when there's an outage.
: Con: The user interface in Evolution is rather slow.

: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">sudo dnf install evolution-ews -y</syntaxhighlight>
