Setting up email on Android

1 min read

Here you can see how to set up your Android phone (Samsung, HTC, Huawei, LG and others) to read emails. In this guide we set up the phone to show emails via IMAP only. In other words, emails aren’t downloaded to the phone but stay on the mail server, so you can still read them via, for example, webmail, or download them wherever you mainly keep your mail.

Tap the Email icon to set up your email.

Incoming server settings:

For the email address and username, enter your email address (xx@yourdomain.com) and enter your password.

Under IMAP server, enter: mail.gpserver.com, choose SSL as the security type and port 993.

Finally, tap Next:

As the SMTP server, enter mail.gpserver.com; choose SSL as the security type and port 465.

Remember to tick Require sign-in, then fill in Username + Password again and continue by tapping Next.
