4. Windows Phone

You can set up Exchange e-mail on a Windows Phone mobile phone. When you set up an Exchange account on your device, you’ll be able to access and synchronize your e-mail, calendar, and contacts. These instructions are for devices running Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 7.5, and Windows Phone 8.

On Start, swipe left to the App list, select Settings, and then select Email + accounts.
Select Add an account > Outlook.
Enter your e-mail address and password and select Sign in. Windows Phone will try to set up your e-mail account automatically. If setup completes successfully, skip to step 7.
If you see the message "Check your information and try again. You may have mistyped your password.", verify that you entered the correct email address and password. At this stage, you don’t need to specify any values for User name and Domain. Select Sign in. If setup completes successfully, skip to step 7.
If your e-mail account can't be set up automatically, you’ll see the message, "We couldn’t find your settings". Select Advanced. You'll need to enter the following information:
E-mail address: This is your full e-mail address, for example tony@contoso.com.
Password: This is the password for your e-mail account.
User name: This is your full e-mail address, for example tony@contoso.com.
Domain: This is the part of your e-mail address after the @ sign, for example contoso.com.
Exchange Server: Use the address of your Exchange server. You server name is m.outlook.com. Some versions of Android do not work with this server. Use pod51011.outlook.com if the first server name does not work.
Select Show all settings and make sure the Server requires encrypted (SSL) connection box is selected.
Select Sign in.
Select OK if Exchange ActiveSync asks you to enforce policies or set a password.

5. Apple iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini, or iPod Touch

You can set up Exchange e-mail on an Apple iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini, or iPod Touch. When you set up an Exchange account on your device, you’ll be able to access and synchronize your e-mail, calendar, and contacts.

Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account.
Tap Microsoft Exchange.
You don’t need to enter anything in the Domain box. Enter the information requested in the Email, Username, and Password boxes. You need to enter your full e-mail address in the Email and Username boxes (for example, tony@contoso.com).
Tap Next on the upper-right corner of the screen. Your iPhone will try to find the settings it needs to set up your account. Go to step 6 if your iPhone finds your settings.
In the Server box, enter your server name, and then tap Next. You server name is m.outlook.com. Some versions of Android do not work with this server. Use pod51011.outlook.com if the first server name does not work.
Choose the type of information you want to synchronize between your account and your device, and then touch Save. By default, Mail, Contacts, and Calendar information are synchronized.

Caution: If you're prompted to create a passcode, tap Continue and enter a numeric passcode. If you don’t set up a passcode, you can’t view your e-mail account on your iPhone. You can set up a passcode later in iPhone Settings.

6. Android

You can set up e-mail using an Exchange account on an Android mobile phone.

From the Applications menu, select Email. This application may be named Mail on some versions of Android.
Type your full e-mail address, for example tony@contoso.com, and your password, and then select Next.
Select Exchange account. This option may be named Exchange ActiveSync on some versions of Android.
Enter the following account information and select Next.
DomainUsername: Type your full e-mail address in this box. If Domain and Username are separate text boxes in your version of Android, leave the Domain box empty and type your full e-mail address in the Username box. On some versions of Android, you need to use the domainusername format. For example, if your e-mail address is tony@contoso.com, type contoso.com ony@contoso.com. Your username is your full e-mail address.
Password: Use the password that you use to access your account.
Exchange Server: Use the address of your Exchange server. You server name is m.outlook.com. Some versions of Android do not work with this server. Use pod51011.outlook.com if the first server name does not work.
As soon as your phone verifies the server settings, the Account Options screen displays. The options available depend on the version of Android on your device. The options may include the following:
Email checking frequency: The default value is Automatic (push). When you select this option, e-mail messages will be sent to your phone as they arrive. We recommend only selecting this option if you have an unlimited data plan.
Amount to synchronize: This is the amount of mail you want to keep on your mobile phone. You can choose from several length options, including One day, Three days, and One week.
Notify me when email arrives: If you select this option, your mobile phone will notify you when you receive a new e-mail message.
Sync contacts from this account: If you select this option, your contacts will be synchronized between your phone and your account.
Select Next and then type a name for this account and the name you want displayed when you send e-mail to others. Select Done to complete the e-mail setup and start using your account.

Note: You may need to wait ten-to-fifteen minutes after you set up your account before you can send or receive e-mail.
