Email Settings
Use this payload to configure POP or IMAP mail accounts for the user. If you’re adding
an Exchange account, see Exchange Settings below.
Users can modify some of the mail settings you provide in a profile, such as the
account name, password, and alternative SMTP servers. If you omit any of this
information from the profile, users are asked to enter it when they access the account.
You can add multiple mail accounts by clicking the Add (+) button.
Exchange Settings
Use this payload to enter the user’s settings for your Exchange server. You can create
a profile for a specific user by specifying the user name, host name, and email address,
or you can provide just the host name—the users are prompted to fill in the other
values when they install the profile.
If you specify the user name, host name, and SSL setting in the profile, the user can’t
change these settings on the device.
You can configure only one Exchange account per device. Other email accounts,
including any Exchange via IMAP accounts, aren’t affected when you add an Exchange
account. Exchange accounts that are added using a profile are deleted when the profile
is removed, and can’t be otherwise deleted.
By default, Exchange syncs contacts, calendar, and email. The user can change these
settings on the device, including how many days worth of data to sync, in Settings >
Accounts.
If you select the Use SSL option, be sure to add the certificates necessary to
authenticate the connection using the Credentials pane.
To provide a certificate that identifies the user to the Exchange ActiveSync Server,
click the Add (+) button and then select an identity certificate from the Mac OS X
Keychain or Windows Certificate Store. After adding a certificate, you can specify the
Authentication Credential Name, if necessary for your ActiveSync configuration. You
can also embed the certificate’s passphrase in the configuration profile. If you don’t
provide the passphrase, the user is asked to enter it when the profile is installed.
