How to add emails to your phone (Android)

Created by Nick Slade, Modified on Fri, 28 Mar at 2:40 PM by Nick Slade

                         
  • Launch the Gmail app. 

  • Tap the icon with the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner.

  • Tap Settings.

  • Tap Add account.

  • Tap Other.

                                         
                     

          

  • Enter your e-mail address.            

  • Tap Next.

  • Select the desired account type. You can choose between the following account types:

    - POP3 account
    - IMAP account

    We recommend that you use the default IMAP account setting. If you want to read and receive emails on the go, set up the IMAP account type.

    When you access your email box using the IMAP protocol, your emails stay on the server. Messages are not fully downloaded until you open them. All actions (e.g. moving or deleting emails, creating folders) are performed directly on the server.

    If you manage your emails only on one end device and you do not want to leave your messages on the server, create a POP3 account.

     A list of required settings is given below:

  • Tap Next.

  • If you are setting up an IMAP account, enter imap.ionos.co.uk in the Server field. If you are setting up a POP3 account, enter pop.ionos.co.uk in the Server field.

                                         
                     

    

                         
  • Tap Next.
