You can configure the native iOS Mail and Calendar apps to connect to your Office 365 email, calendar, and address list. However we recommend the Outlook app for its better support of Office 365 mailbox and calendar features, including the ability to perform faster and more thorough searches of your mailbox.
Mail & Calendar Apps for iPhone and iPad

- If you do not have a passcode protecting your device, you will see the following prompt:
- Tap Continue and enter a passcode that has a minimum of 4 characters. tap Continue again

NOTE: iOS does support more complex passcodes if you would prefer something more secure than a 4-digit code. You can disable the "Simple Passcode" option in the Settings app. Tap on General and then Passcode Lock. This passcode is for your iPhone or iPad only. It is not linked to your Western computer accounts, but we do require that you protect your device with a passcode if you want to use it to access your Western email.
