Well, what system does your work use for email? Can't your IT department help you set it up?

We use Outlook and I have bought the ipad home to do some work for the holidays so therefore the IT department wont be available during this time. It you cant offer any assistance except to refer me to someone else (my IT department) then I dont know why you would even respond to me. Is there somebody out there who can point me in the right direction??

Your IT department is the best resource for setting up your work email on your work iPad. These questions have to be asked before we can figure out how to help you. But hey, you apparently don't want my help so I'll leave you to it.

So, what did you exactly try? You can configure Outlook in the settings app under "Mail". Is it a Google or Microsoft mail behind, but you're using Outlook as a tool? We do not know if you're in need of a VPN solution, or you're working via remote session - that are all facts that change the process.

If everything goes without a hitch, you should be fine in Settings - Mail.

Exactly. If simple user approach via Settings doesn’t work, a conversation with the IT department is recommended. They hopefully know their setup better than the employees.

Since we don't know what you've tried/how you've tried to do it, it's hard to know where things are going wrong. Start with Apple's instructions on how to setup an email account: https://support.apple.com/HT201320

Common reasons for not succeeding when setting up a business email account:

1. Not knowing whether it is a Microsoft Exchange account
2. Not knowing the required settings (especially important if it is a Microsoft Exchange account)

This is why others have referred you to your company's IT department. If you don't have the settings, it's not likely you'll succeed. If you have a tech-savvy co-worker you can call, they may be able to help.

Hi there. I'm from your IT department. What system does your work use for email?

 

[AutomaticApple]

If you can’t figure it out, you don’t belong working from home

I wouldn't exactly say that's true.

Yep, but given that bitter, avoiding response about consulting the IT department isn't helping either...

My work email was very difficult to setup on my iPhone/iPad due to the way the incoming and outgoing servers were named and setup and ported. It’s nothing like adding our iCloud to our email. My buddy is on android and with all the settings in front of me I was never able to get email on his phone. That’s why everyone is saying you need your IT dept‘s help. We have no idea of servers, settings and port numbers.

As stated by others here, your iT department should be the first place to go to for support of any device they issued you. Coming here first really doesn't make sense, as we have no knowledge how they intend you to use yoir iPad or what's needed to get functionality such as company email to work per their requirements.
