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. Regards Vivek

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