ISA + iPhone = Webmail @ all times

I have regained faith in the excellence of our ISA helpdesk. I, usually, detest the long queues and endless FAQ reading, thus, most IT desks are not my favourite place in the world.

I have only been to the ISA desk four times

• to get my ID issued
• to add printing credit (back when we used to do it offline)
• to get my lost (and found) card cancelled
• to get a new card re-issued (after breaking the old one)

So, you can imagine that I know extremely little of the pool of services that the desk offers. And by extremely little I mean, I don't know and don't care! But as I was strolling along the corridors of MB fourth floor today I decided, today I actually do have time to ask a question that has been bothering me for ages. How does one add one's Aston Webmail Account to an iPhone Mail App?

So, I walked into the ISA and received instruction to simply google "Aston Mail iPhone". I thought, "Alright, is this guy taking the p***?!", said thank you and skeptically went to the adjacent lab. After following my "instructions" I ended up reading three lines instructing me to access the following link from my iPhone: http://webmail.aston.ac.uk/ios

I was asked to input my Aston username and password and voila I am looking at my Webmail as we speak! Apparently the ISA desk have designed some kind of a extremely simple to use software that does all the work for you. GR8 JOB!
