Configure Exchange ActiveSync on Android

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) is a data synchronization protocol that uses push technology to sync email, calendars and contacts (and tasks and notes on supported devices) to Outlook 2013 and 2016 for Windows and a variety of mobile phones and tablets, including Android, iOS, and Windows devices.

NOTE: Exchange ActiveSync is only available at the ENTERPRISE-MAIL service level. To utilize an Exchange ActiveSync connection, your account must first be assigned an ActiveSync mailbox. If you have been notified by the Email Administrator for your domain, or by a Central TX Mail representative that ActiveSync has been setup for your account, you will need to configure your Android to function with Exchange ActiveSync.

To set up your Android to access Exchange ActiveSync, follow these steps:

1. On your Android, open the Settings app.
2. Tap Cloud and Accounts. Then tap on Accounts.
3. Tap Add Account. A list of applications will load.
4. Tap on Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
5. Complete the following required fields:
   • Email address (your full email address)

   • Domain\username (enter your full email address. ex: username@domain.com)
   • Password
   • Exchange Server: mail.centraltxmail.com NOTE: Do not include http:// when entering the server information.
8. Tap Sign In. The phone will attempt to verify the connection.
9. Tap OK to allow remote control of security features on the device.
10. On the Manual Setup screen, adjust some common settings for the period to sync email, sync schedule, email retrieval size, etc. and choose whether to sync Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks.
11. Tap Next.
