Cowboy Mail Security enhancements
IT has phased out Google Mail (OrangeMail) as a supported service.
As of 09/30/2023, all OrangeMail accounts have been removed and the contents deleted. There is no option to recover any data from Gmail or GDrive as of 12/30/2023.
All email account holders must keep an active O-Key password and access your OkState email from cowboymail.okstate.edu. Password expirations exceeding 13 months forfeits the use of your O-Key account and OkState email address.
If you wish to keep receiving emails using your OkState email address, you must do the following:
- Keep O-Key passwords up to date.
- Go to okey.okstate.edu to select “Forgot Password?” to reset your O-Key password.
- Ensure DUO multifactor authentication is active
- Instructions for deploying the OKState licensed product for multifactor are located at it.okstate.edu/services/multi-factor-authentication/index.html.
- Access your email at cowboy.okstate.edu or with an approved email client
- Instructions for managing your CowboyMail may be found here and at the links below.
System Requirements
Most modern laptops and PC's can install Office 365. See Microsoft for details.
