Important Notes on Mobile Device Passwords: To check your email, your mobile device
must know your GroupWise
password (i.e. your career account password).
If your GroupWise password and the password on your phone do not match,
then your account can become temporarily locked preventing all access
to your campus accounts. To prevent this:
- If you have one of our Blackberry accounts, this is not an issue.
Your GroupWise and mobile device passwords synchronize automatically
in the background.
- For all other mobile devices, you must be sure that when you change your
GroupWise password, you immediately change the password on your
mobile device to match your GroupWise password. Please be sure
you know how to change the password on your mobile device before
you change your GroupWise password. If your mobile device tries to
connect to your GroupWise email with an unmatched password, your account
will lock for 30 minutes.
