Set Up Office 365 Email on Your iPhone Using the Native App

#1) Advanced security policies could prevent you from using the native Mail app, and require you to onboard into Microsoft Intune first. Find how to here: https://kb.prof-it.services/category/microsoft-365/intune/

#2) It’s not possible to connect to shared mailboxes in the native iOS mail app, use the Outlook app instead.
