Step 1: Open Your Email App
- Begin by opening the Email application on your Android device. This might be called "Mail," "Email," or something similar, depending on your device.
- If you haven't already set up an email account on this app, you might be prompted to add one. If you already have an account set up, go to the settings menu (often accessible via a gear icon) and select "Add Account" or "Add another account."
Step 2: Choose Account Type
- You will likely be prompted to choose the type of email account you're adding. Select "Personal (POP3)" or simply "POP3" to proceed. If you're not given this option directly, you may need to select "Other."
Step 3: Enter Email Settings
- Email Address: Enter your full email address (e.g., yourname@mailsrv.dic.net).
- Password: Input the password associated with your email account.
After entering this information, select "Manual setup" instead of "Next" to enter the incoming and outgoing server settings manually.
Step 4: Incoming Server Settings
For the incoming server settings, use the following information:
- Username: Your full email address again (e.g., yourname@mailsrv.dic.net).
- Password: The password for your email account.
- POP3 server: mailsrv.dic.net.
- Port: 995 (This is typically the port used for POP3 servers with SSL encryption).
- Security type: Select "SSL/TLS" (accept all certificates) for a secure connection.
After entering these details, select "Next" to proceed.
Step 5: Outgoing Server Settings
Now you'll need to configure the outgoing SMTP server settings:
- SMTP server: This is often the same as the POP3 server, so try mailsrv.dic.net. However, confirm this with your email provider as it can differ.
- Port: 465 (This port is commonly used for SMTP servers with SSL encryption).
- Security type: Select "SSL/TLS" (accept all certificates) for a secure connection.
- Require sign-in: Check this box.
- Username: Your full email address (e.g., yourname@mailsrv.dic.net).
- Password: Your email account password.
After entering the outgoing server settings, select "Next."
Step 6: Account Options
- You will now be able to select various account options, such as email checking frequency, whether to download attachments automatically when connected to Wi-Fi, and more. Adjust these settings according to your preference.
Step 7: Finalize Setup
- Finally, you'll be asked to give this email account a name (which will be visible only to you) and enter the name that will be displayed on outgoing messages.
- After configuring these options, select "Done" or "Next" to complete the setup.
