Please help me. I'm not a technical idiot, I'm decent at computer junk. Or so I thought.

I'm having a bit of trouble setting up my NCSU Gmail account on my phone. I followed this tutorial:

but once I open my inbox on my phone, it says "Connecting..." forever, then just gives up and I have an empty screen with no emails. Then I get a "Cannot get mail" message.

ALSO. I'd REALLY like if I could forward my NCSU mail from my NCSU Gmail account to my personal Gmail account, like I used to be able to do through the filters on Squirrelmail. Now it's not so easy! I'd like to do this so I could keep using my mail iPhone application with no trouble (how it used to be), and for my Chrome extension, which I can only set up through an actual @gmail.com account, not my new swanky and upgraded @ncsu.edu account.

Thank you for all replies!

eh, I don't remember the steps at the minute. there is a thread in the lounge where I posted exact instructions... it should be on page 1, 2, or 3. the title will be obvious.

here, somewhere in this thread: message_topic.aspx?topic=586548&page=1

you can link the two accounts to perform forwarding, or you can set up a filter in ncsu gmail to send a copy to a personal gmail account. if I hadn't been drinking, i'd go into more detail... but i've been drinking so that ain't happening.
