Accessing University Email, Calendar and Contacts from your Phone

The University's Outlook Live student email service is now available, and it is possible to synchronise this with a range of mobile phones that support email accounts. If you are a returning student and don’t yet have the new @student.bradford.ac.uk account, you first need to activate your Outlook Live account. Some of the more advanced Smartphones (eg. iPhone, Android or Windows Phone, or other type that supports setting up an Exchange Email account) will also allow you to wirelessly synchronise your Outlook Live calendar and contacts with your phone.

Please note: the Outlook Live Service is provided by Microsoft and not the University of Bradford. If you set up your phone to work with this service then the University accepts no responsibility for any issues that may arise, and can only offer limited support.

Cost

Before setting up an email connection on your phone it is important that you consider any costs you may incur. Accessing email on your mobile will use the phone's internet connection. Depending upon your mobile phone tariff, you may be charged for this unless your usage is within an inclusive data bundle. If you are unsure about charges for internet usage and email on your phone you should speak with your mobile phone network.

How to configure your phone

The interface and settings for mobile phones vary greatly so it is impossible for us to supply detailed setup instructions for every type of handset. However, there is standard information that all phones will require, and certain steps that you will need to follow.

If your Phone Supports Exchange

1. Choose Settings and Add Mail Account or Add Account.
2. You should then be presented with choosing the account type. Select Exchange.
3. Follow the setup wizard through. To complete it you will require the following information:
   • Email address is the University email address with which you have been provided, e.g. j.bloggs@student.bradford.ac.uk.
   • Password is your University Password.
   • Username is your Windows Live ID (not your standard University username), and does not contain any dots between your intials and surname, e.g. jbloggs@student.bradford.ac.uk.
   • Description or Mailbox can be anything meaningful to you e.g. Uni Email.
   • The server address is m.outlook.com.
4. Choose which types of information you wish to synchronise and click on Save.

If your Phone Does Not Support Exchange

1. Find a PC and login to your Outlook Live Account.
2. Click on Options - See All Options - Account - My Account - Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access.
3.  The POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP server name and other settings you may need to enter are listed on the Protocol Settings page under POP setting or IMAP setting, and SMTP setting.
4. On your phone, choose Add Mail Account and use the settings shown on your Outlook Live account to complete the phone setup wizard.
