How to setup Exchange or Office 365 email on a mobile device.

The procedure will vary depending on the mobile OS and email client application you are using. We will cover each OS / client separately.

Prerequisites:

To add email to your mobile device you will need the following:

1. Your email address.
2. Your email login name if different from your email address.
3. Your email password.

Additional information may be needed for manual configuration. For Office 365 the defaults are:

• Exchange Server: outlook.office365.com
• Security Type: elect SSL/TLS or make sure the Use secure connection (SSL) checkbox is checked.
• Port: 443 or 993

Native or Outlook client?

We currently recommend the Outlook client for users with email on Office 365. It has better feature support congruent with Office 365 email offerings.
