Mobile Device or Remote E-mail Client Settings

What is the server address if I want to setup another email client (Outlook/Thunderbird/etc.) or my mobile device (iPhone/iPad/Android/etc.) to access my email?

To remotely access your email, use the following server addresses. Only the IMAP protocol is supported for retrieving email from the GroupWise server.

Incoming Server:

IMAP server: mwsu-imap.missouriwestern.edu

port 143: STARTTLS encryption required

or port 993: SSL encryption required

Outgoing Server:

SMTP server: mwsu-smtp.missouriwestern.edu

port 25: STARTTLS encryption/authentication optional (required for relaying when off-campus)

or port 587: STARTTLS encryption/authentication optional (required for relaying when off-campus) - recommended port when off-campus

Can I synchronize my calendar and/or contacts with my mobile device as well as e-mail?

In short, YES! However, this is only available to MWSU employees at this time. Employees can send a request to groupwise@missouriwestern.edu to be added to the synchronization server. Please include your device type (Android/iPad/iPhone/Windows Mobile) along with your request, so a link to setup instructions can be returned to you. Sorry, but Blackberries are NOT supported by this service.
