About Microsoft Exchange Server account device limits
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 sets a limit of ten mobile devices that can connect to each Exchange account. Microsoft calls these connections "partnerships."
This article is intended for an Exchange Server administrator. If you experience any of these issues, contact your institution's Exchange Server administrator.
If you set up an account on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that exceeds the limit, you might see these issues:
The profile doesn’t install.
You can't sync Mail, Calendar, or Notes with the Exchange account.
When you check email on the desktop client or Outlook Web Access, you see this message: "Error with your new mobile phone partnership. You have 11 phone partnerships out of the maximum allowed 10 partnerships."
If you exceed the 100-device limit set in later versions of Exchange and Office 365, you might see similar issues.
Remove mobile device partnerships

In the upper-right corner of the toolbar, click the gear icon (
