Setting Up Exchange Email
As you probably expect, Windows Phone 8 has
the capability to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server using
ActiveSync. Microsoft provides two different methods for connecting to
Exchange Server. The first method is a simplified method that works
only with Exchange Server 2007, 2010, and 2013. The second method is a
little more advanced and is used for connecting to older Exchange
Servers or attaching to Exchange Servers that do not fully support
automatic configuration.
What Is Microsoft Exchange?
Microsoft Exchange is Microsoft’s email
messaging server and is commonly used in corporate environments. If you
are attempting to connect your Windows Phone 8 to a corporate email
account, there is a good chance that you will need to follow the
instructions for Exchange Server connectivity.
Simplified Exchange Server Connectivity
If you have an Exchange Server 2007, 2010, or
2013 that supports automatic configuration for external clients, you
can use the simplified connectivity method. To connect to your Exchange
mailbox, go to the Email+Accounts screen, tap Add an Account, and
complete the following steps:
1. Tap Outlook.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Enter your password.
4. Tap the Sign In button.
