Connecting Android to Office 365

Again, this was surprisingly easy.  On my DroidX running Android 2.3.3 I went to Settings | Accounts | Add Account | Corporate Sync.  The settings in there were a little tricky.

Email Address: greg@gpconsulting.com (note this is my newly added domain, not my onmicrosoft.com address)
Password: <password>
Domain: <blank>
User Name: same as e-mail address

When I clicked next it said it couldn’t connect but then gave me the option to add an important field:

Server: m.outlook.com

And now I’m connected!

HOWEVER, bear in mind that Android will sync your Outlook contact list with your Android/Gmail contact list.  This means you could end up with a bunch of garbage in Gmail, so it’s a good idea to clean up your Office 365 contacts before doing this.
