Next, enter the password for your Office 365 email account, then click Sign in.
You should get a notification on your screen that the account has been set up successfully.
If you are prompted with a redirect request, choose OK. You’ll then be asked to enter the server names directly.
NOTE: If you are prompted at any time during the setup to enter a servername, you can use outlook.office365.com for incoming servers and smtp.office365.com for outgoing servers.
Next, pull down the Android notification bar by swiping down from the top of your screen.
If you see a notification that reads “Unable to sync calendar and contacts,” tap it. Then tap Allow to give access, and you’re done!
