I'm brand new (3 days) to Android after years on the iPhone. My interest in switching is for another post, but at this point I need to get up and running and am hitting a brick wall. Please help!
I have a Google Apps account using my email address as its username. I used to run all my email, contacts, etc. through it before migrating to Office 365. I keep the old account for access to historical data that didn't get migrated and because it serves my many other Google services like Adwords and Adsense. But the domain MX, etc. records were disconnected to move email services off to another provider - Microsoft Office 365. So all that said, the Office account also has the same email address as its username.
I wouldn't have expected a problem - I've had an iPhone and iPad connected to both accounts simultaneously for two years. However, Android is telling me I can't add the exchange account because it'd be a duplicate account / username is used by another account)(my Google account)
I typically use Microsoft Outlook as my mobile email app. I noticed in Samsung's contacts app, outlook has exposed all my Exchange/Office 365 stored contacts. However, in Samsung's Calendar app that's not the case. I like to use third party calendar apps at times, and I'm used to having direct access to it on the iPhone. (It's useful for things like Waze, whose calendar sync pulls from the phone's connected accounts).
BTW it generates this error whether I try to add the account via Settings > Accounts, or the Calendar > Manage Calendars > Add Account.
Please help if you can. This is a show stopper for me and I have no experience with Android with which to try and fix this. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active on AT&T. Happy to answer any questions if the above explanation or my use case doesn't make sense.
Thanks!
