You may not be able to do that. Or more precisely, it may be against school security policies to allow for your school email to be accessed via an unsecure connection. You can get the server type or server address from your school email administrator or tech support. If they won't give that to you or if you cannot get that to work you can also try email forwarding.
With email forwarding you would need to set up email forwarding on your school email account to another, 3rd party email address -- like a Yahoo, Hotmail or other web-based email services. With the Motorola Q you can set up the device to receive emails from web-based emails. So if your school emails are being forwarded to one of those web-based email accounts you would be able to access them that way.
This can be done via the 'mailbox options' or 'tools' menu of your email program (most likely MS Outlook or Eudora). **Note** that this type of setup can be seen as a security risk so many email administrators will not allow email forwarding to be setup, so you may have to check school email policies if you cannot successfully set up email forwarding.
There is one other option that you can try and that is utilizing MS ActiveSync which on the Motorola Q is available, but that would necessarily require the university school email server be setup for MS ActiveSync as well. That is a relatively secure and straightforward service to setup, but you would need to work with your school tech support to work it with you. Hope this helps and good luck!
