5. Now it’s time to enter in your login credentials and Exchange details. Here’s what it all should look like:

Exchange Credentials

The domain is the value in the 3rd box down at the CTRL + ALT + DELETE screen when you login to a computer at work.

Logon Box

6. Tap Next

7. You will then be presented with the same screen again but with 1 added field. “Server”. This is your outlook web access address minus the https:// bit. So if your OWA address is https://outlook.microsoft.com then you would put in outlook.microsoft.com.

Server Address

8. Hit Next. Your iPhone will try to verify your Exchange server. If you get a box up about a certificate. “Unable to Verify Certificate” message. Tap Accept.

9. This time your account will be verified and you’ll be prompted to choose what you want to sync. Turn on whichever services you plan on using (don’t worry, you can always change these settings later) and tap Save to finish.

Finish

10. That’s all there is to it. Your iPhone is now ready to handle push email sent to your work email address.

WARNING!!!!!!

If you choose to sync contacts and calendars through your work, your phone’s current contacts and calendars will be deleted and synced with work.
