There is some time lag before you can sign-in after SSO-KID account activation. If your account on the web mail seems to be locked after you had activated your SSO-KID account, please wait for a while (about 30 minutes) and sign in again. Sometimes it takes time to propagate account information to the mail system.

Note about the Junk Mail folder

In Exchange Online, messages that are determined to be junk mail will be automatically sorted into the “Junk Email” folder. Messages in the Junk Email folder are automatically deleted after 30 days and cannot be recovered. Please check your spam folder frequently. We recommend that you use webmail for checking. If the message is misclassified, click on the message and click on “Not Junk” in the menu to move it to your inbox. If you find an unsolicited email in your regular folder, please click on the email and then click on “Junk” from the menu to move it to your Junk Email folder. By being proactive, the detection system will learn and false positives will be reduced.
