Set up a work email account on Android

Important notes:

  • To link an email account, you must have a valid user account (BA number).
  • To set up a task-specific email account, you must already have been granted the necessary access permissions (for example, by the management of your organizational unit), which means you must be a member of the relevant security group.
  • These instructions apply to Android version 13.0 and later; we cannot provide support for earlier versions of Android. The setup process and screenshots for other Android versions may therefore differ from the procedure described here. If you are unsure about the setup, please make only the settings listed below and leave other options as they are set by default on your system.
  • For privacy reasons, we cannot recommend the Outlook app for mobile devices.
