7.2. Setting up exchange email (Gmail app & Samsung Email app)

Set up an Android device with a Microsoft® Office 365 or Exchange ActiveSync account

Gmail supports Microsoft® Office 365 and Exchange ActiveSync accounts, and comes pre-installed on all Android devices. To add your Microsoft® Office 365 or Exchange ActiveSync account to Gmail:

  1. Open your device's Settings app. Tap Passwords & accounts. It may be called 'Accounts' or 'Users & accounts' on your device.
  2. At the bottom, tap Add account.
  3. Tap Exchange.
  4. Enter your Microsoft® Office 365 or Exchange ActiveSync email and credentials.

After you add your account to Gmail, you may be prompted to set up a password via the Mobile device mailbox policies if your IT admin requires it.

If your organization uses a different email client, consult your email client's documentation to determine whether it supports Microsoft® Office 365 and Exchange ActiveSync accounts and to learn how to set up your account.
