Email and calendar in Android
Contents
Access to DTU mail
Email and Calendar Sync with DTU Exchange
We recommend the Outlook app, but you can also use other email and calendar apps on your device to synchronize with DTU.
Setup
On many Android phones, you use settings to add the account. You may have to do it in the mail app instead.
Open settings, choose accounts, select add account', choose Outlook
• Email = your DTU email address - e.g. your_user@dtu.dk. For Android 9 use your_user@win.dtu.dk
• Password = The same as for inside.dtu.dk
If there are advanced settings or if asked for more information you may need this:
• Domain/user field = win\your_user or maybe your_user@win.dtu.dk
• Mailserver = mail.win.dtu.dk
• Domain field = leave empty
Known problems:
Some newer versions of the standard mail app on Android do not accept the DTU settings, so you may need to use an other mail app.
Mail and Calendar without active sync
IMAP/SMTP
You can also access DTU mail with IMAP and SMTP. This will not include your Exchange calendar. On this page provided by central DTU AIT is a description of the setup.
We recommend using the K9mail app for IMAP because we have seen problems with other mail programs, but there are many mail programs. K9mail can not be used for Exchange Active Sync, only for IMAP/SMTP.
Calendar
If you buy or find a free app for this, you may need this information:
Server name: mail.win.dtu.dk
Uncheck autodiscover
userid: Your DTU userid
password: Your DTU password
outlook email: your_user@dtu.dk
SMTP problems on some Androids
For at least some versions of Android, it is not possible to use the DTU SMTP server because of the nonstandard settings.
If you still want to use SMTP, you can use smtpauth.compute.dtu.dk to send mail, however you will not be able to send mail to internal DTU Compute mailinglists, as the server is seen as external by the central DTU mail server. Instead you can use webmail for these messages: mail.dtu.dk
To use smtpauth, you need:
Server: smtpauth.compute.dtu.dk
Sec type: TLS
Port: 465
check Require sign-in
Username and password as usual at Compute
