OK, I’m sold. How do I configure the thing?

Before proceeding much further you need two things: an iPhone/iPod Touch with 2.0 software and an UW Exchange account. If you haven’t yet upgraded to 2.0 we’ll wait while you do so now…..Don’t forget to upgrade to iTunes 7.7 as part of the process. There is a freshlymobile.com article to help you find latest iTunes and the 2.0 software if you don’t already have it.

Let’s get started

The first step is to tap the Settings icon from the iPhone home screen.

Tap the Mail, Contacts, Calendars button

Choose Microsoft Exchange at the top of the screen.

Now we enter the meat of the configuration. The smudged text in this screen shot generally illustrates where personal information is entered, while the clear text is likely the same for everyone.

Email: enter your @u.washington (or other) email address.

Username: enter netid\ (yes, that’s a backslash) followed by your UW NetID.

Password: enter your, ehh, password.

Description: enter UW Exchange or any other name you’d like to give this service on your iPhone.

Tap Done or Next.

Mostly likely you will see a message asking you to accept the certificate. Tap Accept.

Almost done. You will now need to tell the iPhone the name of our Exchange server. Enter exchange.washington.edu in the Server field.

Finally choose which services you want to automatically sync with Exchange. You can always changes these choices later by visiting the Mail, Contacts, Calendar preferences in the Settings area.

I hope this helps get you going. Please let me know if you have any corrections or suggestions.
