Microsoft Outlook Emails on iPad?

[polo54]

I'm trying to get my work email account set up on my iPad but not having any luck - we have been told by the IT dept. that we are not allowed to get our emails on any devices that weren't supplied by the company but I was wondering if there's any way around this?

thanks

AUP?

What's this AUP you speak of?!

IT Bloke reply: "yeah, by changing jobs to a company that doesn't give a toss about knowing where its data is, and having to support all sorts of odd hardware that they don't have access to"

Member of Public reply: "look on a device they have supplied for the Exchange settings and try that. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If it works for a bit, then dies, they've found out what you are doing"

Acceptable Usage Policy, ignoring it is a good way to collect your P45

You can use OWA if they've set it up and an iPad can use Outlook over HTTPS but this depends on them having forwarded the necessary ports.

Can you get on your Exchange e-mail using a browser?

Is there any way of finding the Username, Password, Server Name and Domain Name on Outlook as this is all I need to make it work...

you should know the first 2 - usual details you logon with.

For the server bit look in outlook -> tools - >account settings in the email tab click on the microsoft exchange server - you will see the server name.

To check your domain start a dos box and type set

the variable userdomain will be what you want

However, do this at your own risk if your company has a usage policy that forbids this.

They will know you're using it to connect to your email. Read your contract very thoroughly before you go any further. The fact that you've already asked and been told not to won't exactly help you.
