Purchased a new phone and i'm having issues setting up my work e-mail. Any help? when I try to create it tells me it can not connect to the server.

That's not really enough info to be helpful, and you'll probably need to talk to your work folks- many answers that are needed could give away your identity. But as far as reasons you can't connect to the server: They could be preventing your mobile device from connecting, you could be using the wrong port or encryption type, you may have typed the server name/address in wrong, you may have incorrectly put your username or password in.


You'll really get best results from your IT staff.

Need to know what your work uses. Is it an Exchange based email. Does it use Gmail? How to you access your email while at work?

i had to say 'accept all certificates' or something like that to get ours working.

your MIS dept should be able to guide you through this.

Do you still have the old phone? That way you can copy the server name, username etc and input it.

When you put in username did you put : domain\username?

And at my job: our domain, exchange server name, and after username@ is different

Careful you do not give your workplace too many permissions/access to your personal device. That is the #1 reason I do not have work email on MY phone. If they want me that bad, give me a work device. That and defence attorneys wanted to subpoena a phone used "on the job" for any reason.
