Exchange on the iPhone – this is how you set up the account
Setting up an Exchange account on an iPhone only takes a few steps. However, if necessary, you should ask your administrator for the relevant server data in advance.
- Add account: First go to “Settings” > “Mail” > “Accounts” > “Add Account”. There you choose “Microsoft Exchange”.
- Enter email address: Then enter your email address and, if necessary, a short account description. Then tap “Next”.
- Connect: Once you have connected to the Exchange server, you will have your email account data retrieved automatically. Alternatively, enter the data manually. To retrieve account information automatically, tap Sign in.
- Collect email data manually: In this case, tap on “Configure manually” and enter the relevant data yourself, such as the server information.
- Sync content: You can synchronize mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes. You can modify the settings at any time later by selecting the Exchange account you created via “Settings” > “Mail” > “Accounts”.
- Complete Exchange setup: After you have made all the settings, don't forget to tap “Save”. Otherwise, your entries for the newly set up Exchange account will not be transferred to the iPhone.
