Cant add Exchange email account to Ipad Pro

I am using an Ipad pro 5th Gen and have switched over to Microsoft exchange for my email hosting. I ave managed to add it to both my desktop and iPhone but I cant get it to add to my Ipad.

I have done all the usual steps - add account - exchange account etc and put in my details and then it says it is verfiying and then the box just disappears off the screen and returns to the "Add Account" screen. No error message. I have tried turning the iPad on and of, on wifi or not, turned on and off airplane mode, turned my VPN off and still cant work out how to add it.

I would really appreciate any help.

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings - noting that this will fully erase the iPad and that you will need to restore your data from an iCloud or iTunes backup:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:
