How to set up Mail on your iPhone (or iPod Touch) to check your Gator Link E-mail

First start off by tapping on the Settings icon on your home screen.
  
Now tap the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option.
  
Here you can tap "Add Account..." to start adding your Gator Link e-mail account to your Mail application.
  
Now tap Other.
  
Once here, you can input your name, your Gator Link e-mail address (don't forget the @ufl.edu), and your Gator Link password.
  
Now you can select to configure Mail to use either IMAP or POP. IMAP will leave a copy of your emails in Webmail so that you can check them anywhere and POP will download them ONLY to your iPhone or iPod so be careful!
  
In the Incoming Mail Server section, type imap.ufl.edu or pop.ufl.edu (depending on whether you used IMAP or POP in the previous step) for the Host Name. Then type in your Gator Link user name and password. In the Outgoing Mail Server, type in smtp.ufl.edu and then your Gator Link user name and password again.
  
Once it's completed it should look like this picture. Now tap on Advanced.
  
Just to verify your settings, "Use SSL" should be on, "Authentication" should be set to Password, and the "Server Port" should read 993.
  
Now go back and select the SMTP option under "Outgoing Mail Server".
  
In this section your options should look like the picture and sure that your "Server Port" is set to 587, which allows you to send e-mail through smtp.ufl.edu from wherever you're connected.

Your Mail application is now set up to check your Gator Link e-mail!
