Having access to my work/school email on my smartphone is important me when I am ‘working from home, away from home’. I recently switched to my Nexus S and upgraded the OS to the latest Ice Cream Sandwich. But when I tried to add my emails, there aren’t many guides on the QUT website on setting up exchange email accounts on Android devices. As always, after a bit of Googling and guess-work I was able to set up my two account on my Nexus S. And this is how I did it…
For all QUT undergraduate and non-research degree students who have @connect.qut.edu.au email addresses,
- Username: \firstname.lastname@connect.qut.edu.au
- Server: pod51000.outlook.com
For QUT staff email accounts that end with @qut.edu.au,
- Username: qutad\USERNAME
- Server: outlook.qut.edu.au
I’m doing my PhD at QUT, and all HRD (ie PhD and Masters Research) students have a different type of emails (similar to staff emails) which end with @student.qut.edu.au,
- Username: qutad\USERNAME
- Server: outlook.qut.edu.au
How to connect to QUT Wi-Fi network from an Android device?
- QUT Wireless (Works at all QUT campuses)
- eduroam (Works at all participating institutions)
Hey,
I’m trying to fill this out and I have done exactly what you have listed. It is coming up with “Couldn’t open connection to server”.
Any idea?
Regards,
Will
Hey Will,
You need to do the initial setup when you are in a QUT wifi network (at least that’s how it worked for me).
It syncs email when I’m on other connections (data, home wifi), but for the initial connection setup it requires QUT network I guess.
