Setting Up Your iDevice To Read Google Mail

Like many other schools and businesses, SCVi uses Google for Mail and Calendar hosting.  As a school, we get this for free!!  For folks using an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, setting up Google Mail for the first time can be a bit confusing.  These instructions walk you through it step by step.

1.) Click on the "Settings" App Icon



2) Choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars


3) Scroll down and choose "Add Account".


4) Select Microsoft Exchange as the server type.


5) Enter in account information

  • Email          : Your First.Last@scvi-k12.org address. 
  • Server         : m.google.com
  • Domain       : Leave Blank
  • Username   : Your SCVi Google Email again
  • Password    : The password for your Google Mail
  • Description : Put what you would like to see when this shows up in your list of accounts. For example: "SCVi Google".


6) Read your mail!

You should now see your SCVi Google mail listed as an option in your list of accounts.
