A&I Fire iPhone Email Setup Instructions as of 12/31/11
On the iPhone, click
on the Settings icon which is on the home screen.
Click on Mail,
Contacts and Calendars which you’ll see about halfway down the screen on the
left.
You’ll need to select
the existing A&I Fire email account that was originally setup on your
iPhone and Delete it; it may be listed as “Exchange” or it may have another
descriptive title. Once you’ve tapped that account name, you can scroll to the
bottom of the next screen and choose “Delete Account.” Tap Delete Account again
when prompted to confirm. Note: You aren’t actually deleting any of your mail,
contact or calendar data. This just deletes out the old settings so we can
replace with the correct new settnigs.
Once the account is
deleted you should be back on the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen where
you can select “Add Account.”
Then tap on “Microsoft
Exchange”
Here are the settings
you’ll need to enter on the following screen:
For Email: enter your A&I email address.
For Domain: leave
blank.
For User Name: enter your
A&I email address again here.
For Password: Enter your
email password, which I included in the text message along with this webpage
link. Note: Due to security requirements
enforced by the Microsoft hosted mail servers, the first character of your
password must be entered in upper case. The second letter is in lower case,
followed by the 4 numbers, finally followed by two equal signs. For example if
your Windows login password was wt3333 then your email password would be
Wt3333== (that’s 8 characters total).Also note this will be the same temporary
password you’ll use in Outlook on your office PC.
The Description field will probably default to A&I Restoration; this is
just a description and you can enter whatever you wish.
Tap Next (upper right
corner in blue).
The screen won’t
appear to change much but you’ll now have a new field named “Server.” The
correct entry may automatically enter itself but if not then enter the
following: pod51010.outlook.com and then
tap Next again.
You should briefly see
“Verifying” flash across the top of the screen and then another window titled “Exchange”
will replace that. By default, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders are all
turned on as they should be.
Tap “Save” and you should
see “Account added” flash across the screen.
At this point you can
tap the Home button and your mail, contacts and calendar should start
synchronizing to the iphone very shortly.
If you have questions or problems please call or text me at 655-1957.
Thanks,
