How to Set up Email on an Android

1. Tap 'Email' in the 'Apps' menu. Since you do not have an email account set up, you will go to the Account Setup screen in the app.

2. Enter your email address and password.

3. Tap 'Next.' For many popular email services, this is all you need to do. Android will automatically configure the account. If this is not the case with your email account, you can manually enter the settings.

4. Tap either 'POP Account' or 'IMAP' depending upon what type of email service you use. If you do not know, check with your provider. For example, if you use Yahoo!'s Plus mail, use POP. Check your provider's website for details. All providers are unique and different.

5. Enter the incoming mail server address and any other important information that your provider requires, such as a port number. Yahoo!'s incoming mail server is pop.mail.yahoo.com.

6. Enter the outgoing mail server and other settings your provider requires. Yahoo!'s outgoing mail server is smtp.mail.yahoo.com.

7. Tap 'Next.' Android will check your email for compatibility. You will then have the choice options, such as how frequently Android syncs with your email.
