Please be aware that not all mobile platforms currently support Gmail. However, steps for setting up your NAU Gmail account on your Android, iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, or Windows Mobile device can be found below:

First, you will need to know the differences between a Google Apps account and a regular Google account. Please note that your username for setting Gmail up on your phone is your full email address (i.e. uid234@nau.edu) and your password is by default your NAU password.

• iOS
• Android: Use the Email app or add a second Google account in your device's account settings (go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account).
• Other

1. Reset your password. If you have unsynchronized your NAU and Google passwords (by default, your NAU and Google passwords are the same), be sure you reset your Google password. 
2. Enable IMAP in your NAU Gmail Settings.
• If you are using the Gmail App on your phone, simply use the login information above (full email address as your username and your password) to login.
3. You may need to allow the device to connect to your NAU Gmail account.

Here is an optional set of instructions that can be used to set up NAU Gmail on your mobile device's native email application. 

If you prefer, you can use your phone's mobile browser to access NAU Gmail. Please visit gmail.nau.edu, log in, and the browser should bring up the mobile version of your NAU Gmail account automatically. Be sure to use your regular NAU user ID and password for this method.
