How to Set up Microsoft Exchange on Android Mobile Device

There are at least two ways to set up your Exchange Email on your Android phone: Email app (default) or Outlook. You can choose between the two applications where you can start sending and receiving emails. Of course, you still have the option to connect your Exchange Email using the IMAP or POP protocol. Be mindful that using the previous protocols, you won’t be able to enjoy the features that Exchange Email provides.

You can skip through the steps on which application you’d like to use:

• Email app
• Outlook on Android
