Mobile Device Information
Web Site
Mobile device users have two choices for accessing the Morehead State University web site: by going to the traditional site at http://www.moreheadstate.edu, or by going to the mobile site at http://m.moreheadstate.edu. By necessity, the mobile site contains a reduced subset of the full site, but is much quicker to load.
Email – Faculty/Staff
Many mobile devices have the capability to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange email server, as we have in place at MSU for faculty and staff. The method for setting this up varies by particular device, but the specific information needed is the same. The following information is that which is commonly needed:
Mail server: webx.moreheadstate.edu (note: “Use SSL” should be enabled)
Email address: y.ouraddress@moreheadstate.edu
Username: Your EagleID (a lowercase “m” followed by your seven-digit id number)
Password: Your Eaglepass (the password associated with your email account)
Domain: campus
In general, devices using Exchange/Outlook ActiveSync for communicating with a mail server will permit only a single Exchange account. Windows Mobile devices are set up via Start>Messaging>New Email Account.
General information regarding setting up mobile devices can be found by logging into your email account via the web interface (Outlook Web Access, or OWA) at https://webx.moreheadstate.edu (this works best in Internet Explorer {IE} Clicking on the Options link will give a page listing options that can be modified and/or information to view. One of these is “Mobile Devices”. Information about setting up mobile devices and the meaning of the information and options on the “Mobile Devices” page can be found by clicking on the help button (Note: the capabilities and information under the help link varies between IE and non-IE browsers. Non-IE browsers run a “light” version of OWA, while IE provides a more “Outlook”-looking interface. The best information and the most options can be found while using IE to access OWA.)
The Apple iPhone is set up by entering the “Settings” application, tapping the “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” setting, then “Add Account”. You will be shown several mail services, such as MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. To use your MSU account, select the Microsoft Exchange icon. You will be prompted to enter your email address, the domain, your account name (username), and your password. It should “autodiscover” the server name, but sometimes has problems. If it does, you will be given the opportunity to specify the server (mail server, specified above).

Other methods to connect to email
For those who do not have an Exchange account or a mobile device that does not support ActiveSync with Exchange, email can be accessed via a web browser. Go to http://webmail.moreheadstate.edu, and you will see a page that helps you connect to the right webmail interface.
