This article will describe how to configure your iPhone or iPod Touch to read mail from your CECS mail account, allowing you to check it from anywhere that your mobile device has network coverage.
Requirements

Steps
1. From the home screen, choose 'Settings,' and then 'Mail, Contacts, and Calendars'.
-------------------------------------------
2. Choose 'Add Account,' and select 'Other' when prompted to choose the account type.

3. Choose 'Add Mail Account,' and enter the information the form asks for. 'Description' can be anything you wish to use to refer to this mail account, such as 'CECS Email.'

5. Choose IMAP (should be selected by default) and then scroll down to 'Incoming Mail Server.' Enter 'mailhost.cecs.pdx.edu' as the 'Host Name' and your CECS account credentials for the 'User Name' and 'Password.'
-------------------------------------------
6. Scroll down to 'Outgoing Mail Server'. Enter 'mailhost.cecs.pdx.edu' as the 'Host Name' and the same 'User Name' and 'Password' as the previous step. Verify that all information that you have entered is correct, and choose 'Save.'
