The settings on your phone may slightly differ from the specified here.
Tap on the plus sign to add a new Account and choose Exchange or Corporate account from the list.
Type in your primary email adress and tap Next (in our example an arrow).
After you type in your password, you should check the values and correct them accordingly for email server connection.
Most of the settings are allready predefined due Autodiscover functionality, so you should only adjust name of the server to email.gwdg.de.
All required settings are listed below:
Username: | userid@gwdg.de |
Server: | email.gwdg.de |
Password: | GWDG password |
Security type: | SSL / TLS |
Port: | 443 |

You may activate the Automatically download attachment when connected to Wi-Fi option, which helps to reduce the traffic of your mobile network.
At the end of the setup process, security features of the Exchange server needs to be accepted. The dialogue shows which security features are needed.
