Android: Setting up IMAP emails on Smartphones and Tablets

Step 1: From your home screen you will notice an email icon, click on it.

Step 2:

• If this is your first account, you will be directed to start the installation. 
• If you already have an account there click on the setting button (physical button outside of the screen) and select add new account.
• Simply fill in your email address and password. Click Manual

Step 3: The phone will then ask you what type of account you are using, select IMAP

Step 4:

• Make sure the username is your full email address
• Make sure the port number is 143
• Also ensure the IMAP server is correct, this would be the same as your incoming mail server and is generally mail.domain.com.

Step 5:

• The next screen will ask me to verify my outgoing mail server.
• Make sure the port number is 25 or 587
• Tick the require sign in button which is required on this account.

Step 6: You are nearly done. Simply select how often you want the phone to check for new emails and click next.

Step 7:

• On the final screen you will be asked to fill in your account name and give it a display name
• Sent Items will automatically be in the SENT folder so no additional configuration is normally needed as it saves this in the SENT folder on the Imap Mail Server
