  • 0

  • On your Android device, open the Email application.
  • Press the Menu button, select More..., and then select New account.
  • Select the Other (POP3/IMAP) option.

  • Select the Manual setup option.
  • Fill in the required information:

  • Incoming Server Settings
    • Protocol: Select either POP or IMAP. If you're unsure which to choose, you probably want IMAP.
    • Email address: Your email address.
    • Username: This will be the same as your email address.
    • Password: The password for your email address.
    • POP/IMAP Server: This will be mail.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is the domain of your email account.
    • Security Type: Most servers only support "None" here. Contact our technical support to see if your account's server supports otherwise.
    • Server Port: Leave this as default.

  • Select the Next button.

Outgoing Server Settings

  • After your incoming information is validated, enter your outgoing server settings. Most of the settings will already be set for you from the previous screen:
    • Login Required: Leave this as default.
    • Username: Leave this as default.
    • Password: This this as default.
    • POP/IMAP Server: This will be mail.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is the domain of your email account.
    • Security Type: Most servers only support "None" here. Contact our technical support to see if your account's server supports otherwise.
    • Server Port: Leave this as default.

  • After your outgoing server information is verified, give the email account a name and enter your name.
  • You can select to make the email account your default, if you so desire.
  • Press the Finish setup button to complete the setup.
