​If you have an iPhone, follow this step-by-step tutorial to help you set up your @mountholly.org email account on your phone. If you already have email accounts on your iPhone, scroll to the Alternate Steps section below to add your Mount Holly account. These steps can also be used for setup on your iPad.
​
Please note:
​Your account has to be configured online before it can be added to your iPhone.

To begin, tap the Mail app

This simulation was completed on an iPhone with Dark Mode ↗ enabled

Step one.

Tap the Microsoft Exchange logo to start the setup process.

Step two.

In the Email section, type in your Mount Holly Church email address. Once you select the Description section, "Exchange" will appear by default. We suggest you change the text to Mount Holly Email or something similar. When you're finished, tap Next.
Note: As you begin the process, a combination of letters and numbers will appear underneath the Email and Description sections on your actual device, known as your Exchange Device ID. Keep this number confidential and never reveal it — we will never ask for it. In the simulated images of this tutorial, the Exchange Device ID is hidden.
Note: You will see a description explaining that the Exchange administrator—which is Mount Holly, in this case—can remotely manage your device, including erasing it. This language is provided by Microsoft and cannot be changed. Apple's Mail app uses the Microsoft Active Sync Protocol for communications, including the capability to lock or erase a device. Microsoft provides this functionality as a means to safeguard your device (and, more specifically, your data) from unauthorized access, theft, larger attacks, etc. We cannot turn off this feature. We have never used the capability to erase a device, and we will never do so, even if we have your permission. We cannot install or remove apps, set or enforce any security policies, or see anything on your device. The data on your device is only accessible by you. If you are concerned, you can use mail.mountholly.org or the Microsoft Outlook App ↗︎ as alternative options.

Step three.

A message will appear that asks you to sign in to your Exchange account using Microsoft. Tap Sign In to continue. Do not tap Configure Manually.
After completing step three, you may encounter other screens.
  • A screen may appear that asks you which type of account you're using: work or school account or personal account. This will only happen if you created a personal account with Microsoft Exchange using your Mount Holly email address before it was configured to the database we created. Select the Work or school account option, then continue to step four.
  • A screen may appear asking if you're trying to sign in to Apple Internet Accounts. This means that Apple is verifying you want to use their Mail app with your email account. Tap the Continue button, then continue to step five.

Step four.

Once you're connected to the Microsoft website, you'll be asked to type in your password. When you're finished, tap the Sign in button.

Step five.

You have the option to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, and notes with your email account. You can turn these options on or off by toggling the on/off switch next to each option listed. When you're finished, tap Save.

Step six.

That's it! You're now ready to send and receive emails on your iPhone.
