How to Setup email on my Android Phone
Because many Android phones are different, the steps will vary. You can use the following steps as a general guide, regardless of your phone type/model. In our example, we are using the Samsung Email App.
Refer to your phone carrier for additional help.
1. Look for an App on your phone labeled ‘Email‘
Note: If you do not have an app labeled ‘Email’ on your phone, you can download one from the Playstore. Consider using Samsung Email, Outlook or Gmail. Be careful installing apps from vendors you do not know! Apps from other vendors can often contain unwanted items such as adware.
2. Locate the ‘settings‘ option inside the app, then tap ‘Add Account‘
3. On the Add Account screen, choose the ‘other‘ option
4. On this screen, enter your full email address as the username and email account password, then tap ‘Manual Setup‘
5. On this next screen, Select your email account type as ‘IMAP account‘.
6. On this screen, enter your email settings for your email account. (use the Secure SSL/TLS Settings)
→ Refer to Where do I find my email settings? to locate the settings you’ll need for this screen.
Example:
7. Leave the ‘Require authentication to send emails‘ option enabled, then Tap ‘Next‘
That’s it! Your android should now start synchronizing your email. If you get an error message that the account couldn’t be verified, you may need to reset your email password.
Note: Sometimes changing your email account password will fix this issue EVEN when you know your password is correct.
For additional help, contact your phone carrier or reach out to our support.
