This is a guide to configure internet enabled smartphone devices to connect and synchronize with the Shelton School District email server. There are many phones out there that give staff members the opportunity to access their email from their phone. Each phone's email setup screens are different, the typical setting that are asked in email/exchange setup screen on smartphones are listed below.
If you want to keep your work email separate from your personal email and/or you want an easy to configure app, then download the official Outlook app from Microsoft.
Notes: The settings below are for a staff member named Jane Doe with a username of JDoe. Usernames are not case sensitive but passwords are always case sensitive.
Very Important: When you change your district password make sure you immediately change your password on your Smartphone email account. If you do not do so, then your phone will use your old password and quickly lock your district account because our servers will interpret the failed mail access to be an intrusion.
If you ever lose your Smartphone please change your password immediately and notify Tech Services. In most cases we can remotely wipe the email from your phone and/or prevent the device from connecting to our mail server.
(Keep in mind that the email setup will not ask you all of these questions, but they will ask you a combination of the majority of these)
