This guide will enable you to:
1) Add your @iscaexeter.co.uk email address to Mail on your iOS device (iPad running iOS 7 in this instance).
2) Send and receive emails using Mail from almost any location with internet access.

Check:
1) Ensure you are connected to the internet (check your connection with a web browser, for example).
2) Ensure you know your network password.

Add the account:
1) Open "Settings".
2) Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
3) Select "Add Account".




4) Select "Exchange".




5) Enter your email address in the form of [email protected] (e.g. [email protected]).
6) Enter your network password.
7) Enter a suitable description to identify the account on your iPad in the future.




8) Select "Next".
Note: a box will appear asserting "Cannot Verify Server Identity". This would normally be a cause for concern but is normal in this case. You can continue.

Techy explanation: The setup process automatically searches for email servers associated with iscaexeter.co.uk by testing common addresses. It finds mail.iscaexeter.co.uk and assumes this is the server. The email server address is actually outlook.office365.com and it presents a security certificate with this name. As the name doesn't match iscaexeter.co.uk, Mail.app reports an error. In other circumstances, this popup would be concerning as it indicates the server to which you're connecting is not the same as the server listed in the security certificate. As we already know this, there is little reason to assume malicious intent. There are easier methods for third parties to obtain your data.

9) Select "Continue".




10) Select "Save". Your account will be listed.
