Mobile devices (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry)

Mobile devices with the  ActiveSync feature   ActiveSync feature  within Exchange automatically retrieve account information using your email address and password. 

If this does not occur, the settings you will need when creating a new mail account are:

• Email: username@uwaterloo.ca

• Server:  connect.uwaterloo.ca

• Domain:  nexus

• Username: username

• Password: WatIAM password

• Use SSL:  On

Then set/decide whether you want to sync Mail, Contacts, Calendar and if you want to actively push folders other than the inbox (default) and how many days worth of mail to sync on the device.

Note: If you’re using an iPhone, you may need to reconfigure the amount of “Recent Messages” you have shown. The default for an iPhone is to hold your 50 Most Recent Messages across all email accounts. We suggest increasing this amount to the 200 Most Recent Messages to ensure that messages are loading across all of your email accounts/folders :

1. Go to Settings

2. Select “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”

3. Under the “Mail” subheading, select the “Show <50 Most Recent Messages>” option

4. Select the appropriate number of recent messages you would like loaded (200)

Note: there is no need for alarm when the message 'Activate device administrator' is displayed. Simply continue with the process.
