Due to security concerns, Microsoft is soon changing the way EIU users can connect to Panthermail. On Sept. 8, 2020, any users accessing Panthermail via applications that use POP/IMAP will need to migrate to an alternate application; the default mail applications on most Android/iOS devices utilize POP/IMAP.
We have identified your account as one that is connecting to Panthermail using POP/IMAP, so you will need to migrate to Microsoft’s official applications. They are listed below.
Compatible Panthermail Applications
Phone/Mobile
Download and install Microsoft Outlook Mobile from your phone or tablet’s app store.

Desktop
If it is an EIU-owned PC, please contact the Help Desk at 581-HELP to install the latest version.
For home PCs, Outlook for Desktop is part of Office365 and can be downloaded from https://portal.office.com/account/?ref=MeControl
OR
Access Panthermail on the web at https://www.eiu.edu/panthermail.
What happens if I do nothing?
Your email client will no longer download new mail and you will repeatedly be asked to login.
