You don't even need the exchange services app. You can just input the exchange info as an imap account.

However, adding an exchange account only works for the gmail app for me. I can't seem to make it work for my calendar...

Yes, in Lollipop GMail app supports Exchange. I need for work also and I use the Outlook app. I know it is not the same, but I rather go this way to keep business and family separated but synced at the same time.

That is precisely why I made this post, using IMAP does not actually give the functionality of an exchange account would. Following the method outlined in the OP, you obtain full exchange functionality, which includes the calendar and contacts.

I considered doing that, but I do not want to have to use two calendars. I like to see my entire agenda in one place, and this gives me that ability without a third party app. You can always tell it to sync the calendar, but not the email.

Wanted to say thank you for this. Easy fix and it works. I was also unable to get the native Outlook app to work until I installed this apk. Once installed, you can also use the native Outlook app against Exchange.

I installed Mailwise from play store and everything is good now; If you want you can even make it not to be your device administrator so it won't force you to set password or PIN

I extracted the email and exchange apk's from the CM12 image. They work great. I could not get gmail working nicely with exchange accounts. They would not sync and were very unstable.

 

aheuser , Apr 9, 2015 :

I have been using it for a few days now with no issue, if you are having sync issues, maybe try a re-install.

I use Mailwise, here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email&hl=en. It works pretty well and also supports Exchange Security Bypass. By far the best email app I have used so far.

Try to use Nine for Exchange from Play Store. Really good app in case you are facing importing your corporate ssl certificate.

You're a life saver!

While the IMAP solution works its not ideal. Exchange ActiveSync does a better job of enforcing security (important for some IT groups) and is a way more flexible protocol all around. This was short sighted in my mind on OnePlus. Oxygen OS should have the native "Corporate" or "Exchange Service" profile to enable this. Regardless...if you just install Outlook you'll be able to get your email, calendar and contacts. One drawback? Its does not sync with the native address book and calendar apps.
