How to Sync MS Outlook to an iPhone

Sync Microsoft Outlook to your iPhone.

The Apple iPhone provides push notification for your mail, contact information and calendars to and from programs such as MobileMe, Gmail and Microsoft Outlook. Once setup, your iPhone will fetch new information from the server as often as every 15 minutes, or as little as one hour in order to make sure your program and the phone have the same information. In order to preserve your battery life it is recommended to reduce the push notification feature to every hour.

Things You'll Need

• IPhone OS 3.0 or later

Instructions

1. Press the "Home" button on your iPhone and tap the "Settings" icon on the screen.

2. Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and tap the "Add Account" tab.

3. Tap "Microsoft Exchange," and enter your email address, username and password. Tap the "Next" button when you are finished.

4. Slide your finger across the switches on the "Mail," "Contacts" and "Calendar" tabs to turn them on, and tap the "Save" button in the upper-right corner.
