As the times change and we progress toward becoming vegetables we have these things call smart phones (as opposed to what, dumb phones?) We are able to get our email, surf the interwebs and chat with people without using the 42? muscles on our face. We exert little energy to chat with each other, lol wtfbbq? rotflmao.
Right.
So, you are one of those users with an intelligent (really Chris, really?) phone. You having trouble setting up your email on it? Well, I guess I have some answers for you. I will only help with Blackberry and Iphones. If you use WinMo, then you should press Ctrl-W on your keyboard (NOW) or press Command-W on your other keyboard.
I guess you are still here, so if you want to set up your blackberry, drop it off in my office on my desk and leave it there. I’ll call you when it is done
If you don’t feel like that is very secure (its not, don’t do it), then read on.
Blackberry users (me): http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email
Essentially, find the email options folder (green cog?), click email setup, accept the agreement (if any?), type the email address you use, type the password in twice (if necessary). Click next. Wait a few minutes and email starts coming. If this is too confusing, just use the link above. If that is too confusing, do you think you should be using a blackberry?
Iphone (you sucker):
Select the settings icon > select mail/contacts/calendar > add an account > Pick Microsoft Exchange > enter your Assumption Email address > if you are a student put STUDENTS in the domain; if you are staff put ASSUMPTIONNT > The user name is the port ion of your email address before @assumption.edu > enter your password > add a description (if you want) > once prompted for server name : fe.assumption.edu
When this is done, create a 4 digit password (1234). Use 1234 so when I take control of your iphone, I will have complete access to jailbreak. Please and thank you.
Enjoy. (Filter out the sarcasm kthxbye)
