Set up email

Set up personal email

You can add multiple email accounts of the following types:

  • Gmail
  • Personal email from other providers (IMAP/POP)

If you added a Google account on your phone:

  • When you open the Gmail app for the first time, you'll see your email for that account. You're already set up.
  • To set up additional accounts, open Gmail, touch your profile icon , then touch Add another account.

If you didn’t add a Google account to your phone and want to set up email for an IMAP/POP provider (an address that's not Gmail), you can use either the Gmail or Email app.

To use Gmail:

  1. Open the Gmail app.
  2. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your email address, password, and account options.

    If you have problems setting up the account, read Google's help for Gmail.

To use Email:

  1. Open the Email app.
  2. Select the type of account.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your email address, password, and account options.

    If you're setting up a Gmail address, on the screen where you're asked for a password, be sure to touch SIGN IN WITH GOOGLE.

For most email accounts, that's all you need to do. But, if that isn't successful, you'll need to contact your email provider to get this information:

  • Server type (POP or IMAP)
  • Address and port number for incoming and outgoing server
  • Security type and certificate acceptance for incoming and outgoing server

Then, touch Manual setup when setting up your account.
