Google provides a broad range of options for connecting mobile devices to Google Apps. There are options for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), Android phones and tablets, Windows Mobile devices, and Blackberry devices. University Technology will support iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile, and will offer best effort support for BlackBerry.
Faculty and staff users who are required to receive email on a mobile device for work purposes should follow the procedures in the stipend request form. All faculty and staff also have the option of using their personal devices to send and receive Drew email.
Instructions for specific devices are below. You can click on the images to see them larger. The Terms of Service for using Google Apps is only available on the web, so before you set the account up on a mobile device, you will need to access your Drew Google account on the web. You only need to do this once, so if you've already logged in to your Google Apps account, you do not need to repeat this step. 1. Sign into your Drew Google account on the web. The easiest way is to simply go to http://mail.drew.edu. 2. Be sure to accept the Google Terms of Service and complete the "CAPTCHA." 3. Proceed to the instructions for your device. Enable IMAP Currently, users must explicitly enable IMAP before they are able to connect Mac Mail, Thunderbird, or another mail client to their account, or to set up their mobile device using the default Gmail settings. This must also be done from the web. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en#ts=1665018 to see how to enable IMAP.Before you begin

Google Apps Device Policy
For the below devices, University Technology recommends connecting to Google Apps with Google Sync support. 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.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
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.
