Manually configure iOS devices for email hosted on Exchange 2007

This article describes how to set up your Microsoft Exchange email
account on your iPhone using the ActiveSync technology.

Note: Your device must be a 3G or 3Gs and it must be running
iOS 4.0 or higher.*

Add an ActiveSync license
and assign it to your email address.

  1. Log in to the Cloud Office Control Panel.

  2. Scroll down to the Client Setup section
    and click on the ActiveSync link. This opens the Setting Up
    ActiveSync
    window which will contain the information needed to set up
    your device.

  5. The Exchange setup screen will open; you'll then enter the following
    information:

    • Email - Enter your entire email address (for example, [email protected]),
      using all lowercase letters.

    • Domain - Enter the Domain address exactly as it is from the
      Setting Up ActiveSync window.

    • Username - Enter the User name exactly as it is from the
      Setting Up ActiveSync window. The User name is different
      from the email address.

  6. Tap the Next button and the device will attempt to verify the
    account.

    You may receive an "Unable to Verify Certificate" message.
    If so, tap the Accept button.

    is from the Setting Up ActiveSync window.

  8. Tap the Next button and the device will then try to create a
    secure (SSL) connection to your Exchange server.

    If it cannot do this,
    it will try a non-SSL connection.
    If it asks for a confirmation, tap Yes to continue.

  9. Tap the ON/OFF buttons to select which information to synchronize
    with the Exchange server and then tap the Done button when finished.

Note: Your iPhone may take a moment to sync all your information
depending on how much you have on the Exchange server. To learn more
about the mail settings on your device, at the home screen tap
Settings, then Mail, Contacts, & Calendars. Then select your account.
You'll be able to customize how much data you would like to sync from
the server.
