If you have previously synced your McKendree email to your mobile device, you must first remove the current McKendree email account from your device.  Then, after deleting the current account, you will be able to sync your McKendree Office 365 email account.

Many phones will allow you to add your account using only your username and password.  Other types of phones require additional information.  This may include:

Email Address - your McK email address
Domain - your McK email address
Username - your McK email address
Password - your McK password
Email Server - outlook.office365.com

If your McKendree email account does not sync after entering the above information, please enter username@mckendree.edu (your username followed by @mckendree.edu) for both the Domain and Username fields.


When asked, be sure to select the 'require SSL encryption' option when setting up your account.
