Work Email Setup, IPhone 6s

I work for a county government office. Our email goes through an exchange server. I have worked to set up the mail client through my Iphone 6S but I only get the "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed." message. I have set up coworkers phones for them and they work fine. I even went to our IT director who deleted and reinstalled the account setttings on my phone to no avail.

I am trying the community as a last ditch effort.

@Jsesipes This sounds like a corporate email. I'm curious when you went to your internal IT department what did they say? Has this ever worked on your device before?

We deleted the set up I had put in and he attempted to re-enter based off what he uses. Still no luck. I am not sure if its a corporate account or not. Is there a way to find that? We are a small county government, so I assume its certainly possible.

Until my responsibilities in the office changed recently, I had never wanted direct access through my phone so I had never tried to set up it up, instead I use a webmail client.

Thank you for the details. There is a chance that your iPhone 6s is not compatible with the email service you are trying to use. We want to make sure you are able to get this done. Do you have any issues setting up a different email account?

I hadn't ever tried a different account, however I was able to setup my GMAIL without any trouble at all today. The inbox loaded almost instantly.

Yes, my coworkers, including my IT Director, can set up their work accounts on various Iphone models including the 6S. Are there specific settings I can ask for them to check?

I want to be clear. When I enter the exchange information into the mail settings, the phone gives me little green check marks on all categories and says its completed. When I go to the Inbox however, its empty. Forcing it to check manually results in an error message:

Cannot Get Mail

The connection to the server failed
