Configure Exchange ActiveSync on the iPhone

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 the iPhone to function with Exchange ActiveSync.

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

1. On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
2. Tap Accounts and Passwords.
3. Tap Add Account.
4. Tap Exchange.
5. Complete the following required fields:
   • Email (your full email address)
   • Server: mail.centraltxmail.com NOTE: Do not include http:// when entering the server information.
   • Domain
   • Username (enter your full address: example@domainname.com)
   • Password
   • Description (Optional)
6. Tap Next.
7. The iPhone will display a list of collaboration items to sync with Exchange ActiveSync. Choose from the list and tap Save to initiate the first sync.
