Setting up your FSU Email on the IPhone is quite easy and you can be connected in just a couple of minutes by following these steps.
NOTE: you may wish to turn off wifi unless you want to authenticate a wifi connection - for campus, open Safari and put in your FSUID and password. Until you authentic - it will appear as though you have a wifi connection, but you do not. 
Step 1) On the main IPhone menu choose the icon called Settings. If you are setting up e-mail for the very first time you can click on the Mail icon and skip to step 4
Step 2) In the Settings menu click on the Mail, Contact, Calendars Option.
Step 3) In the Settings menu click on Add an Account.
Step 4) Choose Other:
Step 5) On the next screen it asks for your initial FSU Email information, enter the information as described below. When you are done click on the save button to store your information.

Step 6) After entering the initial information it will then ask for more specific e-mail settings, the first being what protocol to use.
