Step 7: Additional Exchange Settings The default settings on this page should be fine; however, they can be changed to suit your wants and needs. Exchange ActiveSync will synchronize your Office 365 Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks by default. If you do not want Contacts, Calendars, or Tasks from Office 365 to appear on your Android device in addition to its local data, uncheck the appropriate box(es). Exchange ActiveSync will also “push” mail to your phone by default. If you do not want this behavior on your device, select Every 15 minutes or Manually instead. If Manually is selected, you must go into the Mail application and manually check for mail to see any new messages since the last time mail was checked. Some newer versions of Android will also ask if you would like to enable SMS Synchronization. This feature allows you to send and receive text messages via your email account. If you do not want this feature, make sure you uncheck the box for it. Tap Next when satisfied with these settings.
Step 6: Enter the following additional information about your Office 365 account: Server address: pod51010.outlook.com Domain: Leave this field blank Username: Your full YSU e-mail address (ending in @student.ysu.edu for Students or @ysu.edu for Faculty/Staff) Note: On some versions of Android, you may see a combined Domain\Username field. If this is the case, you will need to enter your address in the format of domain\username that will look like student.ysu.edu\[email protected] for Students or ysu.edu\[email protected] for Faculty and Staff members Password: Your YSU password Leave “This server requires an encrypted SSL connection” checked Tap Next

You may also need to set up a lock screen / device passcode or swipe pattern. Tap Next, OK, Allow, or Accept to continue.
