Sync a .edu email on N1

[zm976311]

Hey Guys,

I currently go to school at SUNY Albany in New York. I used to be able to get by with checking my school email whenever I could get to a computer, but I recently acquired a position in my Student Association where I need to be able to get my email pushed to my phone. I know the service is IMAP, but other than that I'm stuck. I know the school uses SquirrelMail as their provider but I can't seem to find any info other than that it is IMAP. Any help would be very appreciated. The address for my school email is webmail.albany.edu

Thanks.

I just helped my friend set up his albany.edu account on his HTC EVO 4G and I used this as a reference:

UAlbany ITS: Email Services - Email Choices: GUI Clients: Configuring Outlook Express 5.x to Access the Mail Server

The only problem I came across was that I had to select SSL as the security setting. It would not allow me to access the account until that was selected.

And just leave the port settings as they are defaulted in the setup.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot dude... I should've thought to put SSL as the security. Worked like a charm after I put an imap and smtp in front of the address for incoming and outgoing servers. Mods can close if necessary.
