Introduction:
Connection information for setting up Exchange on a mobile device can vary depending on the Exchange account being used.
Requirements:
A Microsoft Exchange account and mobile device.
Procedure:
To setup Exchange (Active Sync), you will need the following information, setting values are provided as examples:
A note for Android users: if the Server does not work, try Proxy Server.
Server: BL2PRD0610.mailbox.outlook.com
https proxy server: bl2prd0610.outlook.com
Proxy principle certificate: msstd:outlook.com
Your 365 username
Your 365 password
Other connection options in case you don’t want to use exchange (exchange is the recommended option, and multiple exchange accounts can be setup in outlook 2007 or later ):
POP setting
Server name: pod51011.outlook.com Port: 995 Encryption method: SSL
IMAP setting
Server name: pod51011.outlook.com Port: 993 Encryption method: SSL
SMTP setting
Server name: pod51011.outlook.com Port: 587 Encryption method: TLS
iPhone users should use the same settings, though they may need a separate server, such as:
Server : m.outlook.com
Note: You will still have access to your old exchange server and google accounts so that you can compare your mailboxes. It takes time to propagate the DNS change to office365 (72 hours at most). So some e-mails will still be delivered to your old mailboxes. All emails sent to your old mailboxes will be replicated every 24 hours.
