Setting up the iPhone or iPad for email, calendar and contacts

To start using your live@edu email account for the first time YOU MUST RESET YOUR PASSWORD!

(See page 1)

  • First, touch the 'Settings' icon. Scroll down a little bit, then touch 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars'.
  • Touch 'Add Account…', then 'Microsoft Exchange'.
  • Next, type your email address in the form into the top field.
  • Leave the 'Domain' field blank, then type your username, which is exactly the same as your email address in the previous step, into the username field, then your password into the password field.
  • You can leave the description field as 'Exchange' if you like, but it's perhaps more meaningful to change it to something like 'Warwick Email' or 'Warwick Live@Edu'.
  • Click the blue 'Next' button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Your iPhone will think for a moment, then should display all the details you've just entered, together with a server name which it has derived itself.
  • Click the blue 'Next' button again, and this time the iPhone should report that it has successfully connected, and will show you a screen where you can choose which of your Mail, your Contacts, your Calendar and your Reminders you would like to have on your phone. They are all on by default, so if that's what you want, you can just click the blue 'Save' button in the top right-hand corner. If there are any you don't want, change the relevant switch from 'On' to 'Off', then click 'Save'.
  • There's one more thing to decide: back on the 'Mail, Contacts and Calendars' screen, there's a menu item which says 'Fetch new data'. Click on this, and then decide whether you want new emails, calendar events, etc. sent to your phone as soon as they arrive at your desktop. If you do, then make sure that 'Push' is set to on, but note that this will use your battery more quickly than the other settings. If you want more battery life and don't need immediate updates, set 'Push' to 'Off' and then choose how often you want your phone to check for new items. The most battery-friendly option of all is to choose 'Manually', which will only check for email or calendar data when you actually open your email or calendar - but if you choose this, then your phone won't be able to tell you how many unread messages are waiting or remind you of your upcoming appointments, because it won't know them until you open the app.
