Configuring Mail on Android Mobiles and Tablet Setup
NOTE: You can use any email client that you have available on your Android device. For our example, we are going to use Gmail mail client, but most steps will be almost the same on other mail clients as well.
Step 1: Firstly access your mail client app on Android device and go to Settings -> Add Account section.
Step 2: Select Other from the list to add your custom email account.
Step 3: Enter your email address and click Next.
Step 4: Select which type of incoming server you want to use – POP3 or IMAP. Generally, it is advised to use IMAP so you could synchronize all emails across multiple different devices.
Step 5: Enter your email account password and click Next.
