Now you can always check your UTA Exchange e-mail on your phone by selecting the Mail icon from the Home Screen.
The iPhone or iPod touch will try to create a secure (SSL) connection to your Exchange server. If it cannot do this, it will try a non-SSL connection. To override the SSL setting, go into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select your Exchange account, tap Account Info, then toggle the Use SSL slider. After successfully making a connection to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your device passcode to match whatever policies may have been set on your server.
Choose which type(s) of data you would like to synchronize: Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. Note that by default, only 3 days' worth of e-mail is synchronized. To synchronize more, go into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select your Exchange account, and tap on Mail days to sync.
For users of iOS 3.0 and above, after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, you will be prompted to either keep your contact and calendar information by choosing "Keep On My iPhone" or remove them by choosing "Delete." Warning: choosing Delete will result in the permanent removal of your non-Exchange contacts and calendar appointments.
