I know i officially retired from configuration but i found this out by accident while configuring my alumni email account.
I am very happy to escape from using outlook since iCloud and Mail (Calendar and to-do list syncing) and iPhones will play very well together.
Heres how to do it.
1. Add your SMU account in system pref->email accounts (make sure you use your full email address xxx.20xx@fullschoolemail.smu.edu.sg)
2. Ensure you tick sync contacts
3. Open mail and go to preferences->accounts and change your username to xxx.20xx@fullschoolemail.smu.edu.sg
4. Open addressbook and go to preferences->accounts and ensure that Use SSL is ticked under server settings (its off by default) and it will work!!!! Say bye to outlook!
All functions seem to work on Mail.
If there any problems please let smumacness know, i cant really troubleshoot many issues as I am already out of school, I will probability be only using basic functions.
