How to Setup Email on an Android Device

You can check your InMotion Hosting domain email on your Android device with one of the many email clients available in the Android Play store. No matter if you use Gmail or another client, the instructions below will help you set up your email quickly and easily on your Android device.

• Using Gmail on Android Device
• Setting Up Default Mail Clients

Did you know other hosting companies charge extra for email services using your domain name? At InMotion Hosting, all of our Shared Hosting and WordPress Hosting includes email at no additional cost!

Using Gmail on Android Device

You can receive email on your Android device via a Gmail account using the Gmail Android app. This allows you to check your domain email using the Gmail interface – which is convenient if you’re already familiar with Gmail. Linking your account to Gmail will also extend the benefits/integration with other Google apps, like the Calendar or Chrome browser.

However, before you use Gmail on your Android device for your domain email, you first must set up your domain’s email address as a POP3 and SMTP account in your Gmail account. Once your domain email has been added to your Gmail account, you can use the instructions below to set up your email on your phone.

1. Navigate to the Gmail app on your Android device
2. Tap Settings.
3. Go to Accounts > Add Account.
4. Enter your email address.
5. Enter your email password.
6. Select Save.

Setting Up Default Mail Clients
