that should do it, let us know if it works.

this was the first thing i tried, and it says to check the username and password. i'm guessing that my email address isn't a login?

i know for a fact that you have to log-in to your university email page in order to creat a password for gmail to be able to recognize...i can't remember how i did it exactly, but when i loogged into my email thru my university's account it gave me the option to upgrade to gmail since they are changing it over....then I had to make a new password and was then able to log on gmail that way....let me look and see if i can find out how i did it exactly and i'll get back to you

any help would be appreciated.. i've been trying for the past week and i see that a lot of universities help you with this, but my school seems to be reluctant to help in any way, or the it department just doesn't know/care. it would just be really helpful because i'm never really on my computer so checking my email on my phone is probably the only way i'll ever actually check it.

Did you ask the guys in the upstairs lab?

ok, does or did the university just migrate accounts to gmail? is there an option to create a password for your gmail account when you log onto your school email? i am not certain that this may be your problem, but i can't seem to find any info on your schools email so i can see for myself....but i had the exact same issue until i made the full migration and created a password for the umail.gmail.com account....i'll keep digging and see if i can find something

this is all that i see, and when i login, it goes straight to a gmail inbox with nyit's logo at the left hand side. i enabled imap and pop, but that didn't seem to help anything. i can access my personal gmail account just fine, but i think i have to log into an nyit server first, which isn't mymail.nyit.edu, nor imap.nyit.edu.
