If the Server name shows partner.outlook.cn, your Microsoft 365 account is on the latest version of Microsoft 365, and you can use partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.
-
If the Server name value is in the format podxxxxx.partner.outlook.cn, your Microsoft 365 or other Exchange Online account is not yet on the latest version of Microsoft 365, and you can use m.partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.
-
If the Server name value includes your organization’s name, for example, pop.contoso.com, then your Exchange ActiveSync server name is contained in address bar in your browser when you are signed in to Outlook on the Web--but without the leading https:// and without the trailing /owa. For example, if the address you use to access Outlook on the Web is https://mail.contoso.cn/owa, your Exchange ActiveSync server name is mail.contoso.cn.
