Is it possible to use existing Exchange Account

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A nice enhancement would be if the app could detect and use an existing 
Microsoft Exchange Account if one is found on the device.

Unfortunately it is not possible to extract credentials from existing accounts 
on an Android device. Android only permits retrieving of auth tokens from 
existing accounts, but there is no way to get to the actual credentials (I 
think this is to ensure security and is a wise decision).

Any case this is definitely a very good feature to have. If I can reuse the 
existing credentials, then there is no need to ask the user to enter the 
credentials all over again. I will look into this and see if it is possible to 
solve this.
Thank you for your comment.

Unfortunately this is not possible. I reviewed the Android source, and there is 
no way to get access to the stored Exchange credentials :(
