Mail App Setup for Android
Prior to setting up email on your device(s) you will need to do one of the following:
- Purchase cPanel shared hosting and setup any required mailbox(s) for your domain.
- Purchase and configure Business email hosting mailbox(s) for your domain.
Once you have created a mailbox using one of these methods you will be able to retrieve server settings from cPanel itself or if using Business email they will be on the welcome email we send out once your mailbox is configured.
With these details and the guide we provide below you should be able to complete setup on your device.
1. Open the Mail (or ‘Email’) App and select Add new account. Enter your full email address and password, then tap MANUAL SETUP.
2. Tap IMAP Account as the type.
3. Enter in your account information.
- Email address: Your full email address needs to go here.
- Username: Your full email address, the same as above.

- Security type: SSL

4. Continue filling out the details.
- SMTP server: This should be identical to the Incoming server.

- Port: 465
Make sure ‘Authentication required before sending emails’ is ticked.
