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.

Note:

This feature is available for iOS and Android.

Before you start

  • You need a user name and password to configure extra accounts.
  • Citrix recommends that you do not configure multiple accounts on shared devices.

For administrative prerequisites, see the Citrix Product Documentation article, Multiple Exchange accounts.

Mailboxes screen for iOS and Android

The Mailboxes screen displays all the accounts you have configured and has the following views:
