Android Phones and Tablets vary widely between platforms and versions. We strongly recommend using the Microsoft Outlook App offered in the Google Play Store as it offers the best experience when using your SUMail account.
 

If you received an email indicating you need to configure your Exchange account in preparation for migration to SUMail, we recommend removing your account from the device and reconfiguring the account using the steps below. Configuring your email account with your full email address will properly prepare you for your account's migration.

More migration details are available on the Exchange Email Migration to SUMail page.
