This step-by-step guide takes you through the process of setting up a new email account on Android.

If the Mail account is already set up, but giving errors – then refer to our  Troubleshooting guide.

♦ Replace example.com with your domain name

Note: Your mail application’s display screens may differ to the screenshots below.

First, check your password

Check your password by browsing to Webmail and trying to log in. If you aren’t able to log in, then you have the incorrect password. Forgotten passwords can be reset in your control panel – you will need to get your domain or web administrator to update it for you if you don’t have control panel access.

Add your mail account

  1. Launch your mail application by selecting the mail icon from your applications screen.

Assist Note

In isolated cases mail.domain (e.g. mail.example.com) and smtp.domain won’t work. In these cases you will need to use the server name instead e.g. www34.cpt1.host-h.net. Find my server name.
