Shared Exchange mailbox (email account) on the iPhone & iPad

Until now, Microsoft has not provided for the synchronization of a so-called “shared mailbox” and until this changes, the familiar IMAP protocol will help us to integrate the mailbox:

SET UP IMAP ACCOUNT

So we add a new account and select IMAP as an option

SET UP IMAP – INCOMING SERVER

The syntax required for the connection consists of the user name of the user (e-mail address) and the account name of the required mailbox.

The user’s personal password is used as the password.

Office 365 users enter “outlook.office365.com” as the host name. Encrypted with SSL via port 993.

SET UP SMTP – OUTGOING SERVER

The syntax required for the connection consists purely of the user name of the user – example: [email protected]

The user’s personal password is again used as the password.

The host name “smtp.office365.com” and TLS via port 587 are required.


Settings for IMAP Configuration

EMAIL ADDRESS: [email protected] (shared mailbox)
IMAP SERVER: outlook.office365.com   
SMTP SERVER: smtp.office365.com
USERNAME: [email protected]\shared-mailbox (user\shared mailbox alias)   
PASSWORD: password (user's password)
