Add your Office 365 Email Account on Android

If you have a mobile device running the Android operating system, you can set up your email account to sync emails on that device.

If you are using Android, you can set up emails using either the built-in Gmail app (Samsung Email App if using a Samsung device) or using the Outlook for Android application.

Gmail Application

From October 13th 2020, Microsoft will be deprecating Basic Authentication for Exchange Online. This will prevent usage of the Gmail App for Android with Office 365. It is recommended to set up your account using Outlook for Android.

Open your Gmail App

Open the Menu (Icon with 3 lines)

Select Settings

Select Add Account

Select Exchange and Office 365

Enter your Email Address and press Next

Enter your Password and press Next

If prompted, accept the redirect to https://autodiscover-s.outlook.com by pressing OK

If prompted, accept the Remote Security Administration prompt by pressing OK

Your phone will need some time to be able to download the settings for the mailbox and start downloading data. It may take a few minutes for data to appear.

Outlook for Android

If it’s the first time you are using the application, you will automatically be taken to the account setup screen.
