My supervisor at the company I work for would like me to receive company email on my personal iPhone. I recently learned that adding an Exchange mail account on the iPhone through the Settings.app (in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section) will enable ActiveSync on the iPhone, automatically enroll the iPhone, and allow it to be remotely wiped through the Exchange Management Console (as in, the entire device wiped, not just the email).
For obvious reasons, I am not comfortable with my personal iPhone being automatically enrolled and capable of being wiped. I work in IT at the company, so I am able to see if any mobile devices are enrolled for my email account. In my tests, I have found that downloading a third-party email app such as Spark by Readdle and adding the Exchange account in the app (NOT the iPhone's Settings.app) will allow me to receive email without enrolling my device to ActiveSync.
Can anyone provide me with any insight on this?
