    • Enter your e-mail address *exactly* as the default account is set (for example, if your outbound e-mail address is Jonathan.Dough@smallbizco.net, enter it exactly that way – do not enter jonathan.dough@smallbizco.net).
    • Enter your internal domain name (if needed)

  8. If you did get the previous message that the phone could not verify the identity of the server, you will need to enter the name of the server.

  9. You may receive a second warning that the server identity cannot be verified. This will be the case if your Exchange server has an invalid or untrusted SSL certificate.

  10. If you receive a message that the Exchange account cannot be verified, click OK and make sure you have entered the account information correctly. This error will most often appear if a password has not been entered correctly or if the Domain information is incorrect. Cannot Verify Account
  11. Once the account has been validated, select which Exchange features you wish to synchronize with your phone, then click Save. Select Items to Synchronize
  12. After creating the account, you can go back into the account settings to change the items you wish to synchronize, or to modify other synchronization options. Account Details

At this point, your iPhone will start to synchronize information with your Exchange account. Depending on the data connection speed of the iPhone and your server, along with how much data you have in your mailbox to synchronize, this process may take some time.
