Microsoft Exchange on iPhone

You can leaf through the step-by-step instructions in the picture gallery below. Here are a few background information about Exchange accounts:

• With an Exchange account, you can synchronize emails, contacts, calendar entries and even reminders from iOS 7. For this you need a corresponding account including a server. Some email providers like Gmail (free of charge) or providers like 1 & 1 (for a fee) offer both.
• You can of course also use Exchange synchronization on other iOS devices such as iPod touch or iPad, the menu navigation is the same as described in this practical tip.
• You can also use Apple's iCloud service to synchronize data between different Apple devices. We show you the best tips for this cloud service in this practical tip.

This practical tip was carried out on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4. In this case, however, the menu navigation does not differ from previous iOS versions. From version number 4 you can set up your Exchange account on your iOS device.
