Office 365 (iOS) - Configure the native email/calendar app for iPhone or iPad

IMPORTANT: Microsoft just released a version of Outlook which will work with UW-Madison's implementation of Office 365. This application is fully supported by Microsoft. Office 365 team recommends that all users install/use this application instead of the native iOS mail/calendaring clients.

This document explains how to connect to the Office 365 service using an iOS device. Screenshots were originally taken on an iOS 7 device. Steps should still be similar for iOS 8 & 6.

Important: Certain mobile devices that connect to your Office 365 account via the Exchange/ActiveSync protocol can be remotely wiped. This is a useful feature that can help protect your privacy. Please read about Office 365 remote device wipe to see if your device supports this, and learn how it works. If you do not want remote wipe capability via Office 365, your device may have the option to connect via IMAP. If connected via IMAP, you will only have access to your email.
