How to add an Exchange email and Microsoft Account with same address on Android?

A

AC Question

Hello,

I recently switched to Android (Nexus 6P on Android 6.0), and am having trouble configuring my accounts as I need them within the stock apps. I host my email on Microsoft Exchange (let's say the account is me@person.com). This email is also the login to my Microsoft account, where all of my calendars and files are. I need to be able to add this email twice in Android - once with the exchange settings (e.g. outlook.person.com as the server and MyDomain\me as the username) and once with Microsoft account settings (e.g. s.outlook.com as the server and me@person.com as the username).

Whenever I try to add the account for the second time, I get the error: "Duplicate account: You're already using this username for the account "me@person.com".

Any advice on how to get both these accounts on the phone so I can use them in the stock calendar and contacts apps would be much appreciated!
