Using an iPad to Send an Email to a Campus Distribution List
This article covers how authorized users can send an email to one of the campus distribution lists using an iPad.
The Campus Distribution Lists are:
- DL-Campus Employees
- DL-All-Faculty
- DL-All-Staff
- DL-Full-Time Faculty
- DL-Part-Time Faculty
- DL-Full-Time Staff
- DL-Part-Time Staff
- DL-Management
Remember that you must use an administrative account (e.g. [email protected]) rather than your personal work account to send emails to these distribution lists. Be sure you know which administrative account(s) you have access to use to send emails to these distribution lists and which account is most appropriate for the email you want to send before you get started.
You must have your administrative account added an account on your mobile device in order to follow these instructions. Depending on the type of account, you may need the username and password to add it to your Outlook mobile app.
When sending from an iPad, emails are typically in plain text format so you will not be able to add any formatting or images. You will be able to an attachment as long as you have access to it from your iPad (e.g. if it's stored in Dropbox).
1. First, open a new email and check that you are sending from an administrative account and not your personal account.
You can use the drop-down menu at the top of the new email message to switch between the accounts that are in your Outlook mobile app.
2. Next, compose your email. All of the content should be reviewed and complete before addressing the email to any distribution list(s).
3. Tap the To field.
4. Type the full name of the distribution list in the search field. Then tap on the distribution list you want to send to.
- Type the full name of the distribution list in the search field.
- Then tap on the distribution list you want to send to.
5. Review your email at least one more time for content and accessibility. Then tap the send arrow icon to send the email. You're done!
