Follow the instructions below to configure your Bishop’s mail on your Android device. You’ll find screenshots just beside the instructions that may be helpful, but if you have any questions or problems don’t hesitate to contact the ITS Helpdesk in person on the first floor of the Library Learning Commons, by email at helpdesk@ubishops.ca, or by phone at x2273.
