    Notes: 

    • If you’re connecting to your Microsoft 365 email, use outlook.office365.com for your server name. If you are not using Microsoft 365, see Find your ActiveSync server name later in this article.

    • If your plan is Office 365 operated by 21Vianet and you’re connecting to your Microsoft 365 email, use partner.outlook.cn for your server name. If you are not using Microsoft 365, see Find your ActiveSync server name later in this article.

  6. Select OK when Mail for Exchange informs you that it isn’t recommended to use multiple methods to synchronize your contacts with your phone.

  7. Choose whether you want to sync your Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks by selecting the appropriate options and then selecting Next.

  2. If you're connecting to an Exchange mailbox, but aren't using Microsoft 365, your Exchange ActiveSync server name is contained in the address bar in your browser when you are signed in to Outlook on the Web, but without the leading https:// and without the trailing /owa. For example, if the address you use to access Outlook on the Web is https://mail.contoso.com/owa, your Exchange ActiveSync server name is mail.contoso.com.

    1. In Outlook Web App, your on the toolbar, click Settings Settings icon > Mail > POP and IMAP.

      Note: Although you’re not setting up a POP3 account, you will use this value to determine your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

    2. Under POP setting, look at the value for Server name.

      If the Server name value is outlook.office365.com, your account is a Microsoft 365work or school account, and you can use outlook.office365.com as your Exchange server name.

      If the Server name value is not outlook.office365.com, you can try using the server name listed on your options page. For example if the server name is mail.contoso.com, try using mail.contoso.com as your Exchange server name.

  1. On the Settings for POP and IMAP Access page, under POP setting, look at the value for Server name.

  2. If the Server name shows partner.outlook.cn, your Microsoft 365 account is on the latest version of Microsoft 365, and you can use partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  3. If the Server name value is in the format podxxxxx.partner.outlook.cn, your Microsoft 365 or other Exchange Online account is not yet on the latest version of Microsoft 365, and you can use m.partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  4. If the Server name value includes your organization’s name, for example, pop.contoso.com, then your Exchange ActiveSync server name is contained in address bar in your browser when you are signed in to Outlook on the Web--but without the leading https:// and without the trailing /owa. For example, if the address you use to access Outlook on the Web is https://mail.contoso.cn/owa, your Exchange ActiveSync server name is mail.contoso.cn.

What else do I need to know?
