Exchange/Connect distribution lists 

Owners of 'on-premises’ distribution groups/lists can still use them, however, group owners who have their email in Microsoft 365 will need to log into http://connect.uwaterloo.ca/ecp to edit them, at this time.

Another option is to contact your IST Account rep (Academic Support Departments)  or IST Account Rep (Faculties) to edit your groups for you.

Shared email accounts

‘On-premise’ shared email accounts--access provided via a security group--will likely need to be re-added to Outlook after your account is moved to Microsoft 365.
(Note, that generic accounts--accounts that have their own password--will likely not need to be re-added at this time.)
