Valid for Mail Business on iPhone and iPad.

This article shows you how to set up your Mail Business mailbox in Apple Mail as a Microsoft Exchange account. This is the preferred method, as it supports the synchronisation of your emails, contacts, and calendars with Apple Mail. If you only want to access your emails, you can also set up your mailbox as an IMAP account. To set up your mailbox as an IMAP account instead, simply follow the instructions in the article Setting up an email account on iPhone.
