Set up Apple Mail for iOS (iPhone/iPad)

How to configure Apple Mail and Calendar on your private iPhone and iPad.

Email and calendar is automatically set up on iPhone and iPad purchased by UiO.

Important:

The guidelines below only apply if your email account is NOT in MS365. All accounts at UiO will be migrated there in the fall of 2024. If you are unsure whether your email is in MS365, you can check it as follows:

Go to →outlook.office.com. If you see a login window and can log in, you have been migrated. If you are asked to click on a link to be redirected, you have not been migrated.

Important! This service requires two-factor authentication (see this guide for setting up two-factor authentication if you have not already set it up).

  1. On your iPhone/iPad, go to Settings, and select Mail.

  9. Approve sign-in request by entering the number you see in the Authenticator app (number matching), or by writing in a six digit code.


     
  10. A link is made between your e-mail and calendar setup with Apple Internet Accounts, so that two-factor authentication can be required. Click Continue.
