How to Setup Office 365 Email on Mobile Devices?
This article will help you to setup Office 365 Email service on your mobile devices. Basically, one can configure the email account for Microsoft Office 365 using two ways. The ways are Exchange or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) settings.
Difference between Exchange and IMAP
There are a number of advantages to set up the email service on your mobile devices using Exchange rather than IMAP. One advantage os that you only need your email address and password to set up email in Office 365. However, in IMAP you need to show additional server information. Also, the exchange has the direct access to the USC calendar which is the part of Office 365. Another key point is that you won’t be able to access the calendar function if you prefer IMAP as your setup.
