Office 365 Outlook, copy public contacts to user contacts folder

Matthias Keller

Hi,

we have an Office 365 Enterprise plan, with 20 Users. How can i access the public contacts folder from my mobil devices (Android, IOS).

I have read there is possible to copy the contacts from the public folder, to a subfolder of the user account automated with a script, but i has no idea how it could be.

Best Regards
Matthias K.

@Matthias-Keller,

Are you devices already connected to receive email from Office365?

If so that's fine because it means you should be able to get access to email, calendar and contact info as well from mobile devices.

You will need to test this out before deploying the solution:

Delete the account
Create a new account using the ExchangeActiveSync.
Do a manual configuration (not automatic)
Specifie your user info in the fields:
~~ username = email address (e.g. ronnie@itpro.tv) ~~
~~ servername = m.outlook.com ~~

Hopefully, the device should configure the rest and in a few minutes be able to see your email, contacts and calendar.

Cordially,
