Email Access for iOS (iPhone/iPad)

The easiest way to setup your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch for your email is to allow it to synchronize to Apple Mail or Outlook on your PC. Once your email is set up on your computer, you can just connect your phone and it will automatically add your mail accounts (or prompt you to do so). If you want to add your email manually, however, complete the following steps.

  1. Open ‘Settings’ on your iPhone (will use iPhone as the model iOS device)
  2. Tap ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’
  3. Tap ‘Add account…’
  4. Tap ‘Microsoft Exchange…’
  5. Enter your Vanderbilt email, password, and name for the account (whatever you want it to be labelled as in your phone)
  6. The verification will fail. This is normal. Some new settings will appear. Enter the following information:
    Field Action/Field Data
    Email Verify that your email address is correct
    Server email.vanderbilt.edu
    Domain vanderbilt
    Username [Your VUNet ID]
    Password Verify that your password is correct
    Description Whatever you’d like to name this account
  7. Tap ‘Next’
  8. Select which Exchange information you’d like to synchronize to your phone
  9. Tap ‘Done’
