Configure Exchange Active Sync Mail Client (Knox)

To guarantee a secure connection to internal email, calendars, and contacts, Workspace ONE UEM uses the native email client to access EAS mail from the corporate container on Knox devices.

1. Navigate to Devices > Profiles & Resources > Profiles > Add > Add Profile > Android (Legacy).

2. Select Container.
