Our Scott Wiltshire submitted this quick checklist on how to setup your Exchange Email on a Droid Phone. Hopefully this will help you with your setup:

• Go to Email it will be either on the front screen or under ‘apps’
• If no accounts have been set up it will ask you to Put in user name and pass word
• Manual Setup
• Pick Microsoft Exchange Active Sync
• Domains user name
• [DOMAIN]/[USERNAME]
• (Please note this is my email just to show you how it has to be put in, please replace with your username and domain)
• Password
• ***
• Exchange server
• OWA.[DOMAIN]
• Check ‘use secure connection’
• Check ‘accept all SSL certificates’
• Click ‘ok’ on the next activation Screen
• Done
• You should now be able to get in to the account
• Setup options
• Once in the account hit the menu button (very left button at the button of the droid)
• Click the ‘more’ option
• Click ‘Account settings’
• From here it’s pretty easy to go through each option.
• I would suggest you keep email size at 2kb this will save on data usage.
• These are my settings for Sync Schedule, you may find you wish to change some of them, but for a work week this pretty much works perfectly.
