in this field automatically. Or enter a different port number if your email
service provider requires it.
– IMAP path prefix: Leave blank unless instructed to enter a specific

• Exchange ActiveSync accounts
– Domain\Username: If your Exchange ActiveSync server requires that
you specify a domain, enter it before the backslash. Otherwise, just
enter your username (the part before @emailprovider.com in your email
address) after the backslash. The backslash is optional when only
entering your username. The Email app enters the correct syntax for
domains and usernames when communicating with the server.
