Mobile Devices
All users can access their SFU email, calendars, and contacts through their mobile devices (i.e., phones and tablet devices). For optimal user experience on iPhone and Android devices, connect using ActiveSync instead of IMAP.
Setting up your WiFi connection
While at any SFU campus, please ensure that you connect to WiFi (via SFUNET-SECURE or SFUNET) prior to attempting the setup of your SFU Mail account on your mobile device. Using SFUNET-SECURE is recommended, as it provides optimal security and does not require you to manually sign in with every session.
To set up SFUNET-SECURE, follow the steps indicated on the IT Services Wireless Services Page.
Outlook Mobile Apps and privacy concerns
The Outlook Mobile Apps (iOS and Android) are blocked from accessing SFU Mail servers due to concerns regarding privacy. The Outlook Mobile Apps are known to store users' credentials and data in Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, and are therefore noncompliant with BC's FIPPA legislation.
