Setup Office365 as POP/IMAP for Android

You can set up your email account manually using IMAP instead of Exchange ActiveSync. This means that only your email will sync to your phone, not calendar or contacts.

  1. Open the Samsung Email app.

  2. Go to Settings > Add Account.

  3. Enter your full email address and password. Tap Manual Setup.

  4. Choose IMAP account or POP3 account to sync only your email.

  5. If you're prompted to enter settings, use these for the options available:

    Make sure your full email address appears. For example, yourname@outlook.com.
