For non-Android devices, University Technology recommends connecting to Google Apps with Google Sync support (see below for Android instructions). This support provides connectivity to Google Apps as if it were a Microsoft Exchange server.  As such, you will use the following settings:


Username:  yourusername@drew yourusername@drew.edu

Password:  your uLogin password
If you have enrolled in the Duo Two-Factor Authentication service, use your Device Password (found at drew.edu/duo) instead.  

Server: m.google.com

Port: 443

Domain: leave blank

Adding your Drew account as an Exchange account

Please To configure your iPhone or iPad, please follow the instructions available at Google Support.  Please note that you access Google by using the "Microsoft Exchange" server type on your phone. If you use the "Google" option, you may not have access to the global contact list for the Drew domain, and email will only show up on your device periodically instead of as soon as it is received.  Please also note that, although Google has disabled Exchange support for gmail.com accounts, it remains available for Google Apps accounts.

  1. Go To to the "Settings" app on your phone or iPad.
  2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". If you are running iOS 11, select "Accounts & Passwords".

Adding your Drew account as a Google account

Although the University recommends using the Exchange account type for the reasons listed above, we realize some people prefer to add their account as a Google account. For those individuals, we provide these instructions. Some people may notice that they won't have access to Drew's global contact list in older versions of iOS (this means you will see auto-fill work for people you have emailed in the past, but possibly not for Drewids you've never emailed before).

Warning
Please note: Some people prefer to use the Gmail app. We have seen recently that some people are unable to add their Drew account directly in the Gmail app. However, following the steps below to add your Google account in Settings on your device will work in iOS 11 and earlier. You can then choose to use the native Mail app, or you can return to the Gmail app and add your Drew account successfully. If you are running iOS 12, you should follow the directions below to add your Drew account as an Exchange account.
  1. Go To the "Settings" app on your phone or iPad.

Android phones have native support for Google Services built in.  To configure your Android device, follow the instructions at Google Support.  You can have multiple Google accounts on your phone and it will show contacts and calendars for all of them (calendars from different accounts have different colors by default).  Most other Google apps on the device allow you to switch which account is active or switch between accounts interactively.

Different Android phones from different vendors will look different.

Windows Phone:

Google also supports Google Sync for Windows phones.  Click here for instructions.

Blackberry:

BlackBerry 10 devices (Z10, Q10) can also be set up with Google Sync.  Instructions are available at the BlackBerry site using the settings shown at the top of this page.

For BlackBerry 6 and 7 devices (most newer Bold, Torch, and Curve devices), you configure your device to use the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).  Your BlackBerry will recognize the Gmail server and allow for calendar, contact, and email synchronization.  Please note you cannot have two accounts on your device with the same email address so you'll have to remove whatever email support you have on the BlackBerry now and replace it with the BIS connection.
