  2. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
  3. Tap Microsoft Exchange.
  4. You don’t need to type anything in the Domain box. Type the information requested in the Email, Username, and Password boxes. You need to type your full email address in the Email and Username boxes (for example, firstname.lastname@cambridgecollege.edu).
  5. Tap Next on the upper-right corner of the screen. Your mail program will try to find the settings it needs to set up your account. Use outlook.office365.com for your server name.
  6. 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.
  7. If you're prompted to create a passcode, tap Continue and type a numeric passcode. If you don’t set up a passcode, you can’t view your email account on your iPhone. You can set up a passcode later in your iPhone settings.

Email checking frequency: The default value is Automatic (push). When you select this option, email messages will be sent to your phone as they arrive.

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.
