You are able to add your company email account to your personal mobile device, as long as it meets the following requirements:
- If an iPhone, it needs to be on iOS version 7.1 or higher.
- If running Android, it needs to be on Android version 4 or higher.
- Must have a passcode set that is at least 4 characters and not simple (i.e 1111 or 1234)
This only applies to phone and tablets, not laptops. You may be asked to set a 6 digit passcode on some devices, however you can set 4.
If you don't have an iOS or Android device, you should still be able to add your emails as long as your device supports Exchange Activesync. (If you are unsure, please check online or ask a member of IT)
Adding your Email account to an iOS device
Steps below are for using the built in Mail app. If using another app, the steps will be similar to the Android steps below.
- Open Settings
- Go to Passwords & Accounts
- Tap Add Account
- Select Exchange from the options
- Enter your Email address.
- Note, your email login address is your username@virginwines.co.uk. For example, Jimmy Bloggs would be jimmblog@virginwines.co.uk
- You can set the description to whatever you want or leave it default.
- Tap Sign in with Microsof on the next screen
- Enter your Windows login password.
- Tap next and you should get blue ticks.
Accept the options you want enabled, contacts, calendar etc.
That's it. Your emails should now load in the Mail app.
Adding your Email account to an Android device or 3rd party app.
We recommend using the Outlook app from the Play Store as it combines email, contacts and calendar in one app. However the below steps work for other apps.
- Open your email app.
- Select Add new account or similar.
- Select Exchange from the options
- Enter your Email address.
- Note, your email login address is your username@virginwines.co.uk. For example, Jimmy Bloggs would be jimmblog@virginwines.co.uk
- Enter your password.
- At this point you may be redirected to an Office 365 login page, this is normal.
- (Optional) If prompted, enter the following details. You can leave everything else blank.
- Server: outlook.office365.com
- Username: As above
- Password: As above
You will be asked to give permissions to the app/account on your device. Please review these and accept if happy to do so.
If you do not accept the above you will be unable to access your email on your mobile device.
