Select the mobile device you want to configure for GroupWise (Employees):

  Note: As of Fall 2010, new students are given a TigerMail Live account (instead of a TigerMail account). Tigermail Live accounts are set up differently, and have different server settings, which can be found here. The instructions below are kept for archival purposes.

  1. If you have no accounts configured on the phone go to Email (you cannot add your AU account under Settings> Accounts and Sync) and enter your username@auburn.edu and password, then hit Manual setup (skip to step 2 now if this is your case). If you've already configured mail account(s) on the phone you'll need to open Email and hit the menu button, then choose Accounts. This will display your current account(s). Hit menu again to choose add account, then enter the username@auburn.edu and password as above and go to step 2.
  2. Choose IMAP. Username and password will stay as they are but change IMAP server to tigerin.auburn.edu. If you want a more secure connection (which I recommend) change security to SSL (this will also automatically change the port above it). Click Next.
     
  3. For outgoing server you can either use AU's or the Gmail email relay. 
     
     AU outgoing-smtp Server- stigerout.auburn.edu
     Port - 587
     Security Type - None
     Require sign in checked with username and password entered.
     
     Gmail-
     For SMTP server use smtp.gmail.com. 
     Change the Security to SSL which will automatically change the port. 
     Enter your Gmail address and password for username and password.* 
     Click Next twice.
     (If you use Gmail you'll want to add your @auburn.edu address in the Gmail Settings under Accounts and Imports so that your sent mail will show your @auburn.edu address).
  4. Name the account whatever you like and specify the sending name you want to use and click Done.
