Enabling ActiveSync (EAS) Support in Outlook

Posted on by

In Outlook 2016/365 ActiveSync support is not enabled by default. While it is still possible to use the manual setup procedure through the Windows Control Panel, unfortunately auto-discovery does not work in this case.

Alternatively it is possible to enable ActiveSync support in Outlook by creating a registry key as follows (source):

  • Close all Office applications.
  • Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
  • Locate and then select the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup\
  • On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  • Type EnableEASAccountCreation, and then press Enter.
  • In the Details pane, right-click EnableEASAccountCreation, and then click Modify.
  • In the Value data box, type 1 to enable, or 0 to disable EAS account creation, and then click OK.
  • Exit Registry Editor.

You can now create ActiveSync accounts using the regular account creation wizard in Outlook by selecting Exchange ActiveSync as account type.

This article outlines the installation and configuration of a single memcached server for use with the Roundcube web client for Kolab.
