Apple iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) Exchange Setup
Before you begin using Exchange for mobile devices you will first need to agree to NAU's Mobile Device policies at: https://iris.nau.edu/homepage/mobile/
All current Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices have the built-in capability to communicate directly to NAU's Exchange email using the ActiveSync protocol. (Exchange tasks are not synced to these devices.) This document was built for the iPhone, however the process is identical on all three of these Apple devices.
