Important notes
• | iTunes will no longer sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. However, you can still sync your device wirelessly using MobileMe services. |
• | You can configure more than one Exchange account per device. |
• | By default, the communication between the iOS device and Exchange Server is secure, using 128-bit SSL encryption and X.509 certificates. |
To Add an Exchange account on an iOS7 & 8 devices:
1. | On your iOS device, Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then tap Add Account. |
2. | On the Add Account screen, tap Microsoft Exchange. |
3. | Enter the account information, then tap Next. The correct account information can be found in the email provided by Skybox. |
• | Email: Enter the full email address. |
• | Username: Enter the full email address. |
• | Password: The password for the Exchange account. |
• | Description: A descriptive title that identifies this group of settings. |
The device will try to configure the Exchange server address automatically.
After the Exchange account is successfully configured, the server’s password policies are enforced.
4. | The device offers to immediately sync with the Exchange server. If you choose not to sync at this time, you can turn on calendar and contact syncing later in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. Note: Starting from iOS 7, it is possible to synchronize Notes. |
• | By default, Exchange ActiveSync pushes new data to your device as it arrives on the server. If you prefer to fetch new data on a schedule or to only pull new data manually, go to Settings > Fetch New Data to change the settings. |
• | To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days. |
5. | To complete the setup process, tap Save and wait for the device to test your incoming and outgoing mail settings and connect to your mailbox. |
Please note that not all Exchange features are supported. For example, the following features are not available:
2. | Opening links in email to documents stored on Sharepoint servers |
4. | Setting an "out of office" autoreply message |
5. | Creating meeting invitations |
6. | Flagging messages for follow-up |
