<p>I recently purchased the new iPhone and cannot get my USC email account to work on it! I followed the directions on the gmail site (since I access my USC email account through the gmail app) but it will not work. I then tried my other gmail account, the non-usc one, and it worked on my iPhone, so I know I have the correct incoming/outgoing servers. </p>
<p>Did anyone get their USC email address to work on their iPhone? and how?!</p>
<p>For me, today, I have been unable to get onto my USC gmail account- they may be down.</p>
<p>Just set your USC email up so that it forwards all your mail to your other account. Thats what I do just because I don't like checking both. Then once a month or so I go back to my USC account and delete all the messages. Or I go to my USC account when I have to reply to an email. </p>
<p>And yes, I have an iPhone.</p>
<p>I did, after talking to ITS. Yes, the email from gmail for a bunch of students went down. They are working on it.</p>
<p>Son has his set up on iPhone. The incoming and outgoing server is: email.usc.edu. You may have to make sure you are not sending on wifi- especially if you are on a POP like Cox. He said he Googled it and found the exact procedure somewhere. Good luck.</p>
<p>After going to apple and talking with ITS, the easiest way to solve it is to make a normal gmail account, if you dont already have one, set that up on your phone, and then have all your school emails forwarded there, that is how i have been doing it.</p>
<p>cc411 is right, just set this up on my mogul.</p>
<p>First off make the setting on POP when asked
The incoming and outgoing server is email.usc.edu</p>
<p>I didn't check that it required authentication on the outgoing server.</p>
<p>I made my username the same as my usc email (cbelton) and then the same password and it worked fine.</p>
<p>Late</p>
<p>hyakku,</p>
<p>That works if you are using USC's email interface, but what about for people who are using USC's new gmail interface?</p>
<p>Has anybody successfully been able to use IMAP through USC gmail? If so, what servers and user names did you use when setting it up?</p>
<p>HELLO GUYS!!</p>
<p>I am having the same problem as described. I will like to use USC Google Apps mail on my iphone. I went throught the steps proposed by google and USC IT webiste, but failed. if i set the server to email.usc.edu, then it worked.</p>
<p>Did any one solve this problem yet?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that even though your account is hosted on Gmail, all the login and authentication is through the usc.edu web site. This likely makes it impossible to get the iPhone to work with your USC gmail account (since you cannot go to gmail.com and login with your USC edu, I am told). However it should work perfectly fine if you are using USC's interface (as others have reported here). The easy workaround is to create a separate gmail account and forward all your email to it. The iPhone should have no trouble accessing that. You can even define a Reply-To address as <yourid>@usc.edu to make it transparent to recipients of your messages sent from the conventional gmail account.</yourid></p>
<p>Mine has been working fine since the first day I got my USC email. I send and receive email's on the account without having to forward anything. All I did was input my USC ID and the password I created with the gmail account.</p>
<p>ITS</a> - Email - Apple Mail - Setting Up Apple Mail</p>
<p>This is how you set it up on Apple Mail as well as an iPhone (I think the steps should directly match both). It's directly connected to your USC e-mail so I don't get all of it confused with my other e-mail accounts. I'd recommend IMAP so that you're not constantly reading e-mails you've already read because it's on a different machine.</p>
<p>Hello Guys,</p>
<p>Yes, I thoguht of fowarding all my USC mail to a new GMAIL account. And I do understand that GMAIL can define REPLY-TO email. But the problem is, if I use thsi gamil account in iphone, the REPLY-TO function will not work. I would have to send out the email VIA <a href="mailto:XXX@gmail.com">XXX@gmail.com</a> from IPHONE. Please correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>By the way, FIGHTON55, do you use USC interface? or Google APPS interface. if I set the server to email.usc.edu. It does work ok on the iphone. But wont' work with imap.gmail.com</p>
<p>Any thoguhts?</p>
<p>ISSUE RESOLVED!!!</p>
<p>For those people who aren't able to sync USC Google APP mail via IMAP or POP. Here is the SOLUTION.</p>
<p>What happened is that your USC Webmail passowrd is different from GOOGLE APPS'. When you are setting up your email client (IPHONE, OUTLOOK, ETC), you need to use GOOGLE password instead of USC Webmail's.</p>
<p>If you forgot your GOOGLE password, go to the following website to reset.</p>
<p>ga.usc.edu</p>
<p>After that, just follow the instruction proposed by google.</p>
<p>Supported</a> IMAP client list - Help Center</p>
<p>REMEMBER, use GOOGLE PASSWORD INSTEAD OF USC WEBMAIL's</p>
<p>Best luck to you guys!</p>
<p>current USC policy is that we will not be able to keep our USC email addresses after graduation (we can get a new forwarder @alumni.usc.edu). for this reason I recommend everyone forward their USC email to a different service, preferably Gmail, so you can keep your email and your address. do be aware, however, that Gmail is technically still in beta.</p>
<p>I am still unable to download mail to my inbox @usc.edu, but I am able to send from my @usc.edu account on the Iphone. In order to do so, I had to set up a VPN through USC on my phone.</p>
<p>[ITS</a> - Mobile Devices - VPN - iPhone](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/its/mobile/vpn/iphone.html]ITS”>http://www.usc.edu/its/mobile/vpn/iphone.html)</p>
<p>Just follow the steps and it’s fairly straight forward. I am able to get around this usc email annoyance by having both a dummy gmail account and my @usc.edu sender. I forward all of my @usc.edu into the dummy gmail account. Then I can respond to anything that comes into the inbox by switching the response email address to @usc.edu. </p>
<p>Also, the person who said make sure to use your gmail password and not the usc password is right!</p>

<p>Hey!</p>
<p>If you’re looking for how to get USC’s Google Apps & Gmail on your iPhone, I’ve got the answer! I was an Apple campus rep & just graduated from USC. I got asked this questions tons of times, and since I knew how to do it, I wrote step-by-step instructions on my blog, [getting</a> USC gmail on your iPhone](<a href=“http://www.jameshawkins.com/home/tech_savvy/Entries/2009/9/22_getting_USC_gmail_on_your_iPhone.html]getting”>http://www.jameshawkins.com/home/tech_savvy/Entries/2009/9/22_getting_USC_gmail_on_your_iPhone.html).</p>
<p>It’s not that difficult, it just requires a password that people don’t really know about.</p>
<p>I always just logged in like normal through Safari. Still, if you want to do that, looks like the guide is pretty solid.</p>
