Hosted Exchange 2016 on Android

This document is only for users who wish to set up a Hosted exchange email account on an Android device. We are unable to provide telephone support to set up email accounts on mobile phones.

Before you start, you will need your full email address and password.

Megganet do not send passwords along with what the password is for, but we can send it to you by TXT / WhatsApp to your registered mobile phone by request.

From your Android home screen access your phone settings and then Accounts. Then select Add Exchange ActiveSync account.

Enter your Email address and Password. Check Send email from this account by default (available only if you have already added another email account) to set this as the default email account and then tap Next.
