Windows 10: Configuring an Exchange email account from a school - mail.server.edu

I stumbled onto the answer to my own question! For anyone else having this issue, here is what I did:

This is to configure an email account that uses the Outlook Web App and is in the form mail.school.edu.

1. Go to Add Account in your Windows 10 email app

2. Choose Exchange for account type

3. Enter the email address and password. When the account cannot be configured right away, a new field will appear in this dialogue box labeled Domain

4. To find your Domain name, open the OWA app and sign in to your email account. Go to Change Password. Your Domain name appears with your user name above the fields where you type your old and new passwords in the form Domain\Username. Use only the Domain part, without the backslash

5. Once the account is formed, attempt to sync it

6. If you get the message that your system does not meet the security standards set by your email administrator (my school is a research hospital), follow the Learn More prompt in the error message and follow the steps. All I had to do was turn on Encryption (Settings - System - About) because I have Windows 10 Pro. Then, I signed in with my Microsoft Account and Restarted. There are other security steps you may have to take, such as getting rid of guest login or strengthening your password.

I hope this is helpful to somebody! Thanks for your time, Yashwanth!
