How to Set Up Your Email Account on Android Device

If you are using a mobile device that works with the Android OS, you can use the default mail application to access your domain email account(s).

The default mail application on the iOS is called Mail or Email, depending on the Android release.

Before you set up your Android device to access your domain emails, you will need to first create your domain email account .

 

Setting up your domain email account on your Android device:

1. On your Android device, open the Email app.

 

2. Select Add a new account.

3. Enter your domain email address and password in the corresponding fields. Then, click Next.

4.  On the What type of account? screen, select IMAP Account.

*While Website.com offers both POP3 and IMAP, we recommend using IMAP as it gives you the ability to manage your emails from multiple devices or email clients.  

5. On the Incoming server settings screen, enter the following information:

  • Email address – enter the full address of the domain email account you are setting up on your phone (ie. you@yourdomain.com)
  • Password – enter the password of the domain email account you’re setting up
  • Username – enter the full domain email address (ie. you@yourdomain.com)

To find the IMAP server info, here are the steps:

  • Log into your Website.com Member Zone
  • Click the "Access Admin Email" button.
  • You're now redirected to the Website.com SmarterMail dashboard. In the SmarterMail dashboard, look to see the highlighted part of the URL in our screenshot below, before the forward flash (e.g. mail2.sitemailserver.com). Copy this part of the URL.

Once you have copied the URL from the SmarterMail dashboard, you can enter this URL for "IMAP server" and "SMTP server"

  • IMAP server – paste the URL you've just copied from the SmarterMail dashboard
  • Security type – SSL
  • Port – 143

When ready, tap Next.

6. On the Outgoing server settings screen, enter the following information:

  • SMTP server – paste the URL you've just copied from the SmarterMail dashboard
  • Security type – SSL
  • Port – 587 or 25
  • Require sign-in – you will need to check this box
  • Username – enter the full domain email address (ie. you@yourdomain.com)
  • Password – enter the password of the domain email account you’re setting up

When ready, click Next.

8. When ready, tap Next to complete the setup process.
