Next Steps

Congratulations! Your Mac is configured for use at Kyndryl.

Next, if you haven’t done so already, check your Kyndryl email.


Your Kyndryl email works natively in Outlook on the web
(outlook.office.com) or in the Outlook desktop application included in
your Microsoft 365 apps installation. Sign into either application with
your Kyndryl Microsoft Account.

Continue to access your IBM email in the same way you do today. Client-
facing users need to retain access to their IBM email until Spin Date.

Optionally, if you need to access Notes databases from IBM, you can
install and configure Notes now. The Notes setup guide is available on
Help@IBM (w3.ibm.com/help). In place of an IBM Notes ID, use your
Transition Notes ID.
