Last week I was meandering up and down the stairs of Sparks Hall when I spotted someone’s flyer that read something like: “Get Pathermail on your iPhone. Call or text. $10.” I was like “WTF damn guy? You can’t charge for that! Information is free.” So I decided to figure it out for myself, without paying $10, and put it online as an instructional guide on how to make life easier. This way I won’t have to explain it ever again.
Step one: Before setting this up on your phone, you must first establish your Panther Mail account. It’s different from your old e-mail and comes with a different password (as if there weren’t a million to remember anyway) so do all that first. You will need your Panther Mail login information to proceed to step two.
Step two: Tap “Settings” (photo one).
Step three: Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” (photo two).
Step four: Tap “Add Account” (photo three).
Step five: Tap “Microsoft Exchange” (photo four).
Step six: Enter your e-mail address (xxxxxxx@student.gsu.edu), enter your password, enter “pod51000.exchangelabs.com” in the field marked “Server” and tap “Save.” Your phone will then validate the exchange account.
Step seven: Return to “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” and tap “Fetch New Data” (photo five). Make sure to set the “Push” toggle to the “On” position.
And you’re done. Enjoy Panther Mail being synced in real time to your iPhone. For free. And as you can see in the last screenshot, I only have my mail synced but there are options for “Contacts” and “Calendars,” which may be a bonus for some of you.
So please, people, don’t pay anyone real money just to use something that only seems flawed because it’s complicated.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
But I’m having a problem. When I try to set it up on my iPhone, it doesn’t authenticate the account because I “entered the wrong password.” I assure you, I did not enter the wrong password. What the fuck? I mean, wtf?
thanks a lot…however its not made clear you need to enter your entire email for the user name _______@student.gsu.edu
thanks man. works fine.
it says that my password is incorrect when clearly it is not. any advice?
didn’t work for me for some reason.
tried it many different ways.
including the way described here.
perhaps due to the fact that I’m using an iPod Touch?
I always get “failed to sync with server” or something like that.
Instead if “exchangelabs”, insert “outlook”. See if that works because it did for me.
