  2. Enter your entire WPUNJ email address as both the Email and the Username, leave Domain blank, and enter your account password.
  3. Enter a Description for the account, e.g. WPUNJ and click Next.
  4. After a few seconds of "Verifying", it may come back and show a new field for "Server". If so, enter pod51004.outlook.com and click Next.
  5. After "Verifying", you'll have the option to turn on what you want to Sync (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) then Save.
  6. The initial synchronization may respond with an “unable to connect with server” message, but that should disappear within 5 minutes.

If you receive an "Unable to Sync Account" error when you try to access your WP email, go back to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Click on the newly created account, and click again on the "Account name@student.wpunj.edu" box at the top. Make sure Use SSL is turned on. If you still receive an error, sign into your email account one time by going to WP Connect and clicking the email tab (use full email address as the username) and try the iPhone email again.
