iPhone Setup

From the home screen, touch Settings, then touch Mail. Choose Add Account. Choose Other. Choose Exchange. (You could also choose IMAP or POP but there are advantages to setting it up as an Exchange account.)

For Name, type your display name as it appears in the Global Address List, not your email address. Usually that's your first and last name, such as John Appleseed.

For Address, type your email reply address, the primary address on your mailbox.

Type anything you like for Description.

Incoming Mail Server host name is shelley5.webville.net

User name is your logon name, usually first dot last @ domain dot com

Outgoing mail server host name is shelley5.webville.net

User name under outgoing mail server is not optional, supply your user name and password again, just as you did above for incoming server.

Rumor has it that Apple has licensed Exchange ActiveSync from Microsoft, so we're hoping an update to iPhone software will enable full ActiveSync support. For now, iPhone uses IMAP to access your Exchange mailbox (over cellular or Wi-Fi). We highly recommend the iPhone to our clients, it is an amazing device and an incredible email client. 

Note regarding Exchange 2003 versus Exchange 2007. With Exchange ActiveSync it is necessary to to specify the correct front-end server name depending on whether your mailbox is on our Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2003 systems. The iPhone uses currently uses IMAP, so shelley5.webville.net will work either way. If you have trouble you can try using server name: secure.webville.net if your mailbox is on our Exchange 2003 systems.
