Army Knowledge Online (AKO) is the United States Army’s main intranet through which service members can access various critical information pertaining to their service in the military. According to TechTarget, AKO “is said to be the world’s largest corporate intranet” and “follows DoD security policy and requires a strong password or combination of a Common Access Card (CAC) smart card and personal identification number (PIN).” Since the U.S. Army requires its members to register for an AKO account, you can use your account to access your AKO email. In addition, you can also configure your AKO email with Microsoft Outlook. Enter “imap.us.army.mil” and “mailrouter.us.army.mi” in the “Incoming Mail” and “Outgoing Mail” fields, respectively.
