Sign into Gmail for Android

Overview

This article explains how to sign into the Gmail app for Android with your SFU Mail account. It is intended for individuals who are using the new Exchange Online experience which is being rolled out to the university gradually. For more information, see We're Upgrading SFU Mail.

Note: Gmail for iOS is not available as it currently does not support Modern Authentication (OAuth2). You will see "Incorrect username or password" when attempting to sign into Gmail on iOS until the vendor implements support.
