Faculty/staff GVSU email setup for IMAP/POP
These instructions are for devices that do not support a direct connection to Microsoft Exchange.
We recommended using the web client at http://mail.outlook.gvsu.edu for most devices.
IMAP/POP setup is not recommended for computers running Windows 7 and above or Mac 10.6 and above.
IMAP/POP will only synchronize email to your device. Your calendar, contacts, and task lists will not be synced to your device.
If you would like to use IMAP/POP please contact Computer Authorizations at auth@gvsu.edu to have your GVSU faculty/Staff account activated to use these protocols.

*IMAP - If your device has the option, we recommend that you set how many days email is locally stored. This will conserve space on your device
**POP (not recommended) Downloads the content of your email to your device potentially consuming a great deal of space and removing it from your online Outlook account.
