Add Exchange accounts

In Secure Mail, you can add multiple Exchange email accounts and switch between them. You can monitor your mails, contacts, and calendars in one place.

This feature is available for iOS and Android.

Before you start

  • You need a user name and password to configure extra accounts.

If you delete the default account, the next account will become the default account.

To set a default account

Secure Mail uses the default account in the following scenarios:

  • Composing emails: The From: field auto-populates with the email ID of the default account.
  • App badge count: Indicates the unread mail count of the default account.

For Android, when you add one or more email accounts, the first account you create is the default account.

For Android, to change the default account, tap the hamburger icon on the upper-left corner of the screen. On the Settings screen, under General, tap the email id next to Default.
