<p>Anyone know how to set up (or merge) another email account on my iPhone? I already have a yahoo account set up and now want to add my FSU account and heard it's more involved than a yahoo or gmail account. Any clues?</p>
<p>Why don’t you just have them forwarded to your yahoo account? You can do that by going to webmail.fsu.edu –> options –> settings –> mail forwarding.</p>
<p>“Why don’t you just have them forwarded to your yahoo account? You can do that by going to webmail.fsu.edu –> options –> settings –> mail forwarding.”</p>
<p>I was hoping I could drop the yahoo account and only have the fsu account.</p>
<p>You could have the FSU email address as your only official email address…then forward all to the Gmail account on your iPhone. It’s easy to set up Gmail on your iPhone.</p>
<p>This way you can log into your FSU email account from any computer and also get near real-time updates on your iPhone.</p>

<p>Thanks P2N, but I’m not admin. I found this one, which I believe is for students:</p>
<p>[iPhone</a> JES / Mobile Devices / Email Client Setup / FSUID/Email / IT Help Desk / FSU - Information Technology Help Desk](<a href=“Help | Information Technology Services”>Help | Information Technology Services)</p>
<p>I guess I don’t understand why I have to have a gmail account…</p>
<p>Its easy, I will find the link. I am busy now but getting email on the iphone is just putting in the POP and IMAP setting,.</p>
<p><a href=“Help | Information Technology Services”>Help | Information Technology Services; This is the step by step instructions and you do NOT need a gmail account</p>
<p>That’s the link I found too. Thanks Sunny, I hesitated to create it until someone replied as to whether I really needed a gmail or another account for it to work. :)</p>
<p>based on size of FSU account…I would keep the yahoo or gmail accounts since they hold more information. …and as your account fills up you can forward some there.</p>
<p>My faculty size is larger so I can’t comment. My D kept her AOL acct for facebook notifications, and for email from online catalogs, etc, (ie junk mail) and only uses her FSU for official/important mail and school related. After about 18 mos she did need to thin it, and now she deletes the “garbage” at the time, and at the end of a semester deletes class emails about assignments etc and has no problem.</p>
<p>You are not required to have a gmail account…but you may want one anyway.</p>
<p>The gmail account has helpful online “office” tools and can serve as your personal account since your FSU account will stop when you graduate. Also, you really have no right to privacy on any university account, but you do on an account like gmail.</p>
<p>P2N, the more I thought about it, I think you’re right; I should. So, I’ve created a new gmail account and won’t use the spammed-up yahoo account any longer. Hopefully, it’ll all work well. :)</p>
<p>To help keep your account free of spam:</p>
<ol>
<li> Think up a non-conventional “name” for your email.</li>
<li> Don’t give your personal email account out to businesses, unless they expressly have a non-release policy regarding customer email.</li>
<li> Never open spam. Delete it immediately.</li>
</ol>
<p>Gmail is reasonably well managed with regard to filtering out most spam.</p>
<p>Believe me, I had a very random name, incorrectly spelled. But I made it when I was in middle school and probably visited every cookie-leaving website on the planet. Since then I’ve been stalked, solicited and bombared by everything! Which is why I hardly use that account anymore.</p>
<p>Most sites require an email address when ordering online, I’ll keep the yahoo one for that purpose. haha</p>
<p>Thanks again!<br>
Go Noles!!</p>
