2. If this is the first time that you are setting an e-mail account up:
  • Click on the blue GET STARTED button.
  • On the Focused Inbox screen, select SKIP.
  • Go to Step 4.

3. If you already have another e-mail account set up:
  • Tap on the Settings icon at the top right-hand side of the screen (the cog).
  • On the Settings screen, select ADD ACCOUNT.

4. On the Add Account screen, select IMAP.

5. On the Connect IMAP screen, you will be prompted for the following:
  • Email Address: Enter your e-mail address (e.g.: mail@example.com).
  • Display Name: Enter your name.
  • Description: This can be your e-mail address or anything else as it is only visible on your phone.

6. Select SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS and enter the following:
  • IMAP Incoming Mail Server: mail.yourdomain (e.g.: mail.example.com).
  • IMAP Username: Enter your entire e-mail address (e.g.: mail@example.com).
  • IMAP Password: Enter the password for your e-mail address.
  • SMTP Outgoing Mail Server: mail.yourdomain (e.g.: mail.example.com).
