The iPhone Exchange

Apparently, I’m quite the dufus when it comes to setting up my Exchange email account on my iPhone. Well, I don’t blame myself 100% though. I was just duplicating what I type in my account settings in Mail and also the webmail version of Exchange. For those, I would enter my username as “ad/myusername”, and it worked just fine. However, when I tried that on the iPhone this time around, it didn’t work. I am pretty sure that I entered it the same way before I upgraded to v2.0.

The simple solution, as given by someone more knowledgeable in Exchange mail, was to enter my username as “ad\myusername”. When the guy typed in my username, I thought he had entered it wrong be/c I’ve always been allowed to enter it with a forward slash. Boy, did I feel dumb when the back slash was what worked!

Well, at least I can pick up my work email on my iPhone again. Chalk this one up to user error.
