On the iPhone home screen, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Select the email account to modify, or select Add Account…
If starting from a new account, first select your account type. Select Microsoft Exchange.
In the Email field, type in your email address, ex. first.last@untdallas.edu. Do not use an email alias as your email address, for example smith@untdallas.edu.
For the Server field, type in “autodiscover.unt.edu”. It is no longer necessary to manually type in your
Exchange server. Note: At first the application may not ask for the Exchange server.
You will input it later in this case.
In the Domain field, type in “UNT” in all caps.
For the Username be sure to use your EUID, and not an alias or alternate username that may work on
other UNT websites.
In the Password field type in your UNT password. When your password expires, your phone will later
ask you to retype your password in a pop-up window, so further changing the settings
every 120 days will not be necessary.
In the Description field you may name the email account in any manner you would like. For example: “Work
Email”, “Exchange Account”. The default will be the email address you type in earlier.
Select Next -> The application will verify your account details with the Exchange server.
If any details are incorrect the application will respond at the top of the window
with a message saying “Account Verification Failed”. If this happens double check your credentials and try again.
If the application stays on the current screen and adds a Server field, type in “autodiscover.unt.edu”, then select next.
Once your account details have been verified, it will ask you to select which features
you would like to use.
Selecting Mail will sync your email account to the mail application. Selecting Calendars will add your Exchange calendar to your phone. Selecting Contacts will sync you Exchange contact with your phone.
**Note: If you select Calendar or Contacts, it will erase any current contacts or
calendar entries you currently have in your phone. Also, it will only sync your personal
calendar, and not others. Selecting your contacts will not only add your contacts,
but all of the people on the Exchange server. In the case of UNT, this is a very large
number of faculty and staff.
After selecting which features you would like to use, you can select Done and go back to your home screen.
The new account will be listed in next to any others you may have. Upon selecting
the account and viewing the default folders, your phone will contac the Exchange server
and begin pulling emails and folders. This may take several minutes to complete on
a slow data connection. If on 3G or wifi, this is often done in under one minute.
