Prior to setting up email on your device(s) you will need Australian Web Experts to set up the email accounts you require. The configuration information will be available via webmail in the welcome email we send out once your mailbox is configured.
With these details and the guide we provide below you should be able to complete setup on your device.
1. Open up the Gmail app and then click Add an email address. Select Personal (IMAP/POP) and click Next.
2. Enter in your full email address. (e.g. [email protected])
3. Select Personal (IMAP) – this is the recommended option, then press Next. You may select POP3 if you wish, however this will NOT keep things in sync with the server.
4. Enter the password for the email account and then click Next
5. Adjust the server, port and security type as follows.
- Server:This is your domain name with mail. in front of it (example mail.australianwebexperts.com.au)
- Port: 993 (for IMAP, recommended). 995 (for POP3).
- Security Type: SSL/TLS
6. Adjust the server, port and security type. Make sure ‘Require sign-in’ is ticked.
- Server: This is your domain name with mail. in front of it (example mail.australianwebexperts.com.au)
- Port: 465
- Security Type: SSL/TLS
7. If you wish to sync with the server less frequently than every 15 minutes, adjust it using the dropdown menu. Gmail also provides some other basic options which you can alter. Otherwise click Next.
8. Enter the account name (if you wish to display this account as something else on your phone). “Your name” is what you wish to show when you send out emails.
9. Open Gmail and away you go! You have now configured your email account on Gmail!
