Gmail Setup for Email and Calendar on Android

If you are unsure what your email address is (long and/or short) you can log into brukerinfo to check.

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.
