Email Client Setup: New Android Devices
Setting up your email on a new Android device?
Before setting up your email on your device, you need to make sure that you have an email account created with us, your domain is pointing to our server, and have a correct MX record set up. Here, you will need your incoming mail server, outgoing mail server, full email address, and your email password. The default settings are listed below.- Open the Mail app on your phone.
- Tap the 'Other' option.
- Enter the email address you wish to configure. In this example, the email address is test@example.com.
- Tap on the Manual Setup button.
- Choose POP or IMAP. IMAP synchronizes the email on your computer with the contents of your account on the server, while POP simply downloads the inbox. To know more about its comparison, please click here.
