ANDROID MAIL SETUP
ANDROID MAIL SETUP
Android setup is going to vary some depending on the make, model, and brand of your phone/tablet. This particular account is on the 5.x version of Android and the normal, generic mail client. Yours might look somewhat different but it should be similar.
First, go into the master list of apps
and select the 'Settings' app.
Scroll down and select 'Accounts'.
Select '+ Add account'
Now select the account type you're setting up. It should be 'Email'.
The Account setup window will open up, and first enter your email address, then tap 'NEXT >'
Now you will select an account type. It will either be 'PERSONAL (POP3)' or 'PERSONAL (IMAP)'. When setting up multiple computers and devices to access email, most commonly people use IMAP. We'll go through the setup for that first.
Tap on 'PERSONAL (IMAP)'.
Tap on 'PERSONAL (IMAP)'.
Enter your password in the 'Sign In' blank, and tap 'NEXT >'
