   • Username: Your primary mailbox address (e.g. max.mustermann@mailbox.org)
   • Password: Your account password

Notes on using iOS

• Synchronization from mailbox Office to iOS works across all folders if the relevant groups are visible under “Contacts”.
• Synchronization from iOS to mailbox Office takes place only via the default folder “Contacts”.
  This limitation is caused by Apple’s system design and cannot be changed.

Tip: If your contacts or calendars do not appear, check the group settings in the Contacts or Calendar app.
