Viewing your email on Android
Phones and mobile devices running Android versions 2.2 and 2.3 now come with a free Gmail app pre-installed. The latest version allows you to manage multiple Gmail accounts via the same app.

- For staff and research postgraduates this is in the format a.smith@sheffield.ac.uk.
- For taught students who registered before June 2011 this is in the format mda11as@sheffield.ac.uk.
- For taught students who registered after June 2011 this is in the format asmith1@sheffield.ac.uk.
