How do I set up my NMIT email on an Android phone?

Your NMIT email account is provided through Microsoft 365 and includes:

• A 50 GB mailbox
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Built-in spam protection

You can access your email through the Student Hub on the Current Students section of the NMIT website or by following the steps below to view on your device.  You can continue using your NMIT email account after you finish studying at NMIT.

Your NMIT email address is in the format:

• Students: preferredname-lastname@live.nmit.ac.nz

For example: joe-bloggs@live.nmit.ac.nz

For the best experience, NMIT recommends using the Microsoft Outlook app on Android.

1. Download Microsoft Outlook from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app.
3. Sign in using your NMIT email address and password.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup.

If you prefer to use your Android device's built-in Mail app:

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Accounts (or Passwords & Accounts, depending on your device), then select Add account.
    
3. Select Exchange.
    
4. Enter your NMIT email address and password, then select Next.
     
5. Configure your account settings, or accept the default options, then select Next.
     
6. Enter a name for the account if prompted, then select Done.
     
7. Review the device administration or security permissions, then select Activate if prompted.
     
8. Your NMIT email account will now appear in your Mail app and begin syncing.

If you experience problems signing in or setting up your email account, contact the NMIT IT Helpdesk for assistance.
