MS Office 365

Can I ask if this actually works?

I see there is a descriptive document but there seems very little help in configuring it. Assuming you have a 365 account (with Exchange) does this restrict you to 1 mailbox only?

Any reviews would be really welcome.

Yep it does! Click on the email app from iDrive "apps" and follow the setup instructions. Got mine working. It pops up with a QR code to facilitate connection, very easy. Yet to try the Skype bit though.

Oh, it does only seem to support one O365 mailbox which is a bit rubbish...

If you go to BMW connected drive in a web browser and register your car, there is an option to add mailboxes but I couldn't get any of mine to connect... not sure what the car does with those accounts...

The mail app is released?!?!? Seriously, I got an official response that the o365 apps are not yet functional due to tech issues.

What version of idrive are you on and since when is it functional?

07.2019.40 I think. Only collected the car last Friday, it was all just there. There are apps for email, calendar and tasks. Contacts just syncs with the normal contacts list. Calendar you can view on the go. Email and tasks only when stationary...

I presume that email can still be read out whilst on the move?

It pops up a notification when an email arrives. Will check for you on the reading bit...

I have O365 on mine and yes it does read it out if you wish.

I doubt i'll renew and pay for it though. Emails can happily wait until I'm at the office.
