How to configure UNC Exchange E-Mail on Smartphones
Before configuring UNC’s Exchange email on your smartphone, please configure a passcode and enable encryption in order to comply with campus security policy.
iPhone:
To set a passcode on the iPhone, go to Settings/General/Passcode Lock menu and follow the prompts. If your iPhone is model 3GS or newer, this will automatically enable data encryption.
Android:
To enable encryption on your Android device, navigate to: Settings/ More/ Security/ Encrypt device, and follow the directions from there. Note that the phone must be PASSWORD protected in order to be encrypted, which disallows the use of other lock screen options (PIN, facial recognition, etc.).
* Encryption can take up to an hour, so only attempt this step if you have at least 80% battery power, or your phone is plugged in to a power source. Interrupting encryption due to battery rundown could lead to loss or corruption of data on your device. *
Once encryption is complete, navigate to: Settings/ My device/ Screen Lock/ Lock Automatically and select "Immediately".
