Office 365 iOS Settings

Written by Edgar Coronel on February 19, 2014

If you are having trouble with your iOS (iPhone, iPad) device after the move to Office 365 follow the steps below.

First, remove the existing settings:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Scroll down to the “Mail, contacts, calendars” item and select it
  3. Find the entry for your SMCCD email and select it
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Delete Account.  Really.  You will not lose any info!  It is all stored all on the email servers.

 

Now, add back the SMCCD email account. 

  1. Go to settings
  2. Scroll down to the “Mail, contacts, calendars” item and select it
  3. Choose “Add Account” and select Microsoft Exchange
  4. Enter your District email address (e.g. smith@smccd.edu), your email password and a description (e.g. SMCCD)
  5. Tap Next and your device should be able to automatically figure out all the other settings.
    If your iPhone can’t find your settings, use outlook.office365.com for your server name then tap Next

  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.
