iPod touch supports Microsoft’s Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name
and password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server’s address
can’t be determined, you’re asked to enter it. (Enter the complete address in the Server
field.) Once you connect to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your
passcode to match the policies set on the server.

If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want
to use on iPod touch—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only).
MobileMe includes the Find My iPhone feature that helps you locate iPod touch if it’s
been lost or stolen, and remotely erase the information on iPod touch if necessary. See
“Security Features” on page 34. If you enable Find My iPod touch for your MobileMe
account, make sure that Push is turned on for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose
“Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, and if Push is off, tap to turn it on.
For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to
iPod touch.
If you already have contact or calendar information on iPod touch when you enable
the account, iPod touch asks what you want to do with existing information on
iPod touch. You can choose to merge the existing data into your MobileMe or
Exchange account. If you don’t merge the data, you can choose to keep it in a separate
account on iPod touch (the account is labeled “On My iPod touch”), or delete it.
Existing bookmarks can only be merged or deleted.
