Configure Email on an Android Device Print

Configuring Your Email on Your Mobile Devices.

Unfortunately every brand of Cell Phone or Mobile Device requires slightly different steps to configure, therefore making it highly difficult for us to provide specific Instructions for each Individual brand, model or version. However, the required settings for configuring an email are the same regardless of the make and model of the device.

 

NOTE: The settings for Cellular Devices are the same as Configuring your Desktop Email Client.

 

The Instructions on this Page Assume you have Already created the email account on the server.

 

NOTE: You will need to know what type server your email is Hosted on to use these Instructions. If you are not sure of the server Type please see the Article "What Type Server Is My Email Hosted On" To determine your server type.
