Do you want to access QUB email, calendar and contacts on your mobile device?  We recommend that you connect to your account using Exchange (Apple) or Exchange ActiveSync (Android). The following settings should work for the majority of mobile devices.

    Postgraduate Students: Please be aware that some long-standing Postgraduate students, whose mailboxes may not be on the cloud, will need to use the staff settings

If you experience any difficulties with your particular device then please refer to Outlook Help or bring your device to the IT Service Desk in the McClay Library.

By using a POP or IMAP connection, you will only be able to use email.
