Outlook (iOS) – Add an Email Account

Summary

Outlook for iOS allows you to access your Florida Poly email, calendar, and contacts directly from your iPhone. This guide walks you through adding your Florida Poly email account to the Mail app on iOS using Microsoft Exchange.

You will need your Florida Poly email address, password, and access to your MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) method (such as Microsoft Authenticator) to complete this setup.


How to Add Your Florida Poly Email on iPhone

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.

  2. Scroll down and tap Mail (or Accounts on some iOS versions).

  3. Tap Accounts, then tap Add Account.

  4. Tap Microsoft Exchange.

  5. Enter your Florida Poly email address (e.g., yourname@floridapoly.edu), update the Description if desired, then tap Next.

  6. Tap Sign In when prompted.

  7. Enter your Florida Poly email and password, then tap Sign In.

  8. Complete MFA when prompted — approve the sign-in request via Microsoft Authenticator or your preferred authentication method.

  9. Tap Continue when prompted to allow the Exchange account to sync.

  10. Choose which items to sync (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders), then tap Save.


Troubleshooting

  • If you do not see the Microsoft Exchange option, ensure your iOS is up to date.

  • If MFA fails, verify that Microsoft Authenticator is installed and configured. See the MFA Setup Guide for help.

  • If you are prompted for server settings, enter outlook.office365.com as the server.
