Adding Your SFA Email Account to Your Phone’s Email App

SFA supports the use of three apps to check your SFA email. The Outlook App is recommended, as it’s available on most devices and is the easiest to configure. We also support the Mail app for iPhone, and the Gmail app for Android.

Click on any of the app names above to navigate directly to step-by-step instructions for adding your SFA email account.

If the account was added successfully, you’ll see a screen asking if you want to add another account. This is personal preference, as the Outlook App can also manage personal email addresses if you wish.

If you do not wish to add another address, tap Maybe Later.
