How to add my University Office 365 account to my Android device?

There are two ways to access your University Office 365 account on your Android device - either with the native built in Mail, Contacts and Calendars app, or with Microsoft's Outlook app, available from the Google Play Store (the app requires Android 4 or greater.)

Note: In order to maintain compliance with the University of Windsor’s electronic device security policy, your mobile device must be password protected. If your device does not have a password, you will be prompted to create one during the setup of your mail account. For more information on the electronic device security policy, go to http://www.uwindsor.ca/its/wireless-and-electronic-device-policies

2. Choose "Corporate" or "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync"
3. Enter your e-mail address as your UwinID@uwindsor.ca (e.g. tester1@uwindsor.ca) - do not use your vanity, or personalized address (e.g. John.Testerski@uwindsor.ca), and enter your UWin password. Click next.
4. On the server settings page, in the Domain\username field erase the contents and type your e-mail address again. In the server field, enter outlook.office365.com
