Connect to your WWU email and calendar from an iPhone or iPad using the iOS Mail & Calendar app
You can configure the native iOS Mail and Calendar apps to connect to your Office 365 email, calendar, and address list. However we recommend the Outlook app for its better support of Office 365 mailbox and calendar features, including the ability to perform faster and more thorough searches of your mailbox.
NOTE: If you have already configured your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for Apple Mail and Calendar, and the app has stopped accepting your password, see the following article: My Apple Mail or Calendar app no longer accepts my password

It is not linked to your Western computer accounts, but we do require that you protect your device with a passcode if you want to use it to access your Western email.
