• The Android phone may call this Exchange ActiveSync.

Context

  • ...etc...

Answer

For more specific details, please check the following official documentation: General Settings for MIT Exchange (for Android)

The basic settings are:

• Choose Manual setup.
• Email address: username@mit.edu
• Server address: oa.exchange.mit.edu
• Domain: exchange.mit.edu
• Username: username
• Password: (your password)
• [x] This server requires an encrypted SSL connection

Some advanced settings to think about:

• To save battery, consider going into your account settings and adjust the download frequency in "Send and Receive". If you download less often, you save battery.
