Connect Your Mobile Devices to Exchange Online

You can set up your Windows Mobile 6 device to synchronize with your company's Microsoft Exchange Online service. This ensures that you'll be able to send and receive e-mails and keep your calendar current whether you're at work or out of the office.

Notes:

  • If your Windows Mobile 6 device is already set up to sync with another Exchange server, you must delete that e-mail account from your mobile device before your device can sync with Exchange Online.
  • Windows Mobile 6 is required.
  • Before starting, make sure your cellular service plan supports Windows Mobile.
