setting up school email

[bhawks]

Does anyone know how to set up their school email account? I am not very knowledgeble on what all the settings mean. I currently have it forwarded to my gmail which is set up but I would rather have it directly linked. I go to the univeristy of illinois and my email is. @illinois.edu. Thanks

U need to talk to your school's tech people and ask then what type it is and u need to get the servers and ports. If u ask, they will probably help you.

True that. Is it hosted on exchange? Or livemail...Google etc. My school tech people were of no help and I set up my own exchange based email after much trial and error.

Yea that's the thing I have no idea what hosted or exchange or any of those settings mean. Good idea about the tech I will give them a call and ask them tomorrow, that's what they are there for anyway

Here are the instructions for setting up you campus email in Thunderbird. All of the settings would be the same on the Droid although there may be more info there than you need. But just go step by step with the Droid and use the info there for reference.
