From the Mobile devices page in Outlook.com, you can perform different actions to help you manage your devices. The Mobile devices page lets you view all the devices that you're currently syncing with your mailbox.

Use the Mobile devices page
To get to the Mobile devices page, select Settings > General > Mobile devices. To use any of the options shown in the table below, move your cursor over a mobile device in the list and then select a button.
Button | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Edit |
Select a mobile device from the list > Edit
Edit displays info about the device, including the device name, type, and the last time the device connected to your mailbox. |
|
|
Delete |
Select the device you want to remove > Delete
Delete removes the sync partnership and delete the device from your mailbox. This does not remote wipe your device. |
|
|
Refresh |
Select the device you want to refresh > Refresh
The list of mobile devices that are syncing with your mailbox is updated automatically. However, you can refresh the list manually using this option. If you’ve configured a new device and can't see it in the list, check the Exchange ActiveSync settings on the device. |
|
|
Enable logging |
Select the device you want to log > Enable logging
If your administrator asks for your device's log, or you're looking to technical details about your device's synchronization, use this action. You’ll receive an email message in your inbox with the log file attached that you can forward to your admin. Note: This option may or may not be available to you depending on your settings managed by your administrator. |
Set up email on your mobile device
Note: If you have a mobile device that's not included in the above list, see Set up Office apps and email on a mobile device. From there, under "Have a different device?", select which device applies to you.
