Connecting iOS 5.x to MS Exchange (UNIMELB)

My iPad UNIMELB account has broken down and I have tried several times to set up a new account, but without success. The information I have is: … Can you check what I need to do to get this fixed?

The University supports Outlook or Entourage. If you want to use another program, only limited support will be available – this creates issues for configuring your iPad or iPhone to use the UNIMELB Staff Exchange server.

All is not lost; here is how you do it;

Connecting iOS 5.x to MS Exchange (UNIMELB)

1. Open Settings. Select: “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”

2. Select: Add Account, Select: Microsoft Exchange

3. Enter your account details.

Email: enter your email address username@unimelb.edu.au
Domain: unimelb
Username: your University username
Password: your password
Description: username@unimelb.edu.au OR University of Melbourne

You may also be prompted for the following;

Server: owa.unimelb.edu.au
Use SSL: ON

Just the Settings
If you are already configured but something is not working, review the account and check that the settings are correct.

Email: enter your email address username@unimelb.edu.au
Server: owa.unimelb.edu.au
Domain: unimelb
Username: your University username
Password: your password
Description: username@unimelb.edu.au OR University of Melbourne

FOR STUDENTS?
Students do not access the Exchange server and instead use the GMail service. For details on getting iOS connected to the Student server have a look at How to setup The University of Melbourne email on your iPhone/iPad: [Mohammed S. AlRokayan]
