Remember that, if you have an Enhanced account, you can use ActiveSync, to not only sync e-mails, but also contacts and events.
Here's the step by step for setting up an IMAP account on Android's native mail app.
- Press the device's Menu button.
- Tap Settings.
- Click on Accounts
- Click on Add account.
- Click on Email.
- Enter your full e-mail address and password.
- Select if you want to send e-mails using this account by default
- Click on Next
- Click Manual setup.
- In account type, choose IMAP account.
- Android will automatically use imap.yourdomain.com and smtp.yourdomain.com as hosts, which is OK
- Username field has to be changed to your FULL e-mail address
- Click on Next 3 times in a row, note that on the last page you can setup specific details such as interval for checking mail
- On the last page, Android gives you the option to change the friendly name and also Your name, as it appears to recipients.
- Click on OK to finalize the procedure.
If you want to setup IMAP with SSL, after clicking on Add account > Email and typing in your e-mail and password, fill out the hostnames as per below.
- IMAP server - imap.emailarray.com
- Security type - SSL or SSL/TLS
- Port 993
- SMTP Server - smtp.emailarray.com
- Security type - SSL or SSL/TLS
- Port - 465
Note that IMAP is preferred over POP. If you want to set up the account as POP, you have to set it up manually. IMAP is a protocol made to support several devices accessing one same account, with all folders synced at our server, which also guarantees that our backups will be executed.
