It is our recommendation that you have a data plan with your carrier to avoid incurring unnecessary charges.

1. Find the area on your phone to "Add New Account".
2. Use your ORU email address such as: helpdesk@oru.edu
3. In "Your Name" put your name as you want it to appear on outgoing e-mail from your phone.
4. In "Account Display" name, put the name you want to call the e-mail account on your mobile device.
5. Incoming mail service is: mail.oru.edu
6. Account Type is: IMAP4
7. In "User Name,"put your GroupWise account user name such as "HelpDesk" or some carriers require the full address 'helpdesk@oru.edu'
8. Put your GroupWise password in the password box.
9. You can choose to save your password (this is less secure) or have it require your password whenever you access your e-mail.
10. Outgoing (SMTP) mail server is Service Provider specific. Example: AT&T's is cwmx.com, US Cellular is smtp.uscc.net "Outgoing Server Requires Authentication" should not be checked.
11. In the "Advanced Service Settings", select "Require SSL" for incoming email only.
12. Select Network Connection type (again service provider specific). Most AT&T accounts require Media Net
13. Choose frequency of "Send/Receive" option
