Overview
RPI employees with Android devices may use their smartphone or tablet to access their Exchange mailbox by enrolling in our Mobile Exchange (MobEx) service.
The MobEx enrollment process configures and maintain settings on your device to protect your privacy and the Rensselaer's data.
To take advantage of MobEx, please speak to your computer support staff, or Submit an online Support Request. You do need to be added to a security group in order to be able to install this.
NOTE: You can install up to 3 devices.
