How can I read mail using the Android Gmail app?
The Android Gmail app allows you to read mail from other addresses, not just Gmail addresses.
This page explains how to set up the Android Gmail app to read mail for an address like address@example.com hosted on our servers. It assumes you already have an existing address (such as a Gmail address) in the app, and that you’re adding a second IMAP address.
(Note that these instructions for the Android Gmail app are different from the instructions for adding an email address to the built-in Android email app or for the Outlook app on Android.)
1. Open the Gmail app
Open the Gmail app on your Android phone.
2. Open the “Add Account” screen
Tap your avatar icon in the top-right corner:
Then tap Add another account:
3. Choose the “Other” account type
Tap the Other icon:
4. Enter your email address
In the “Enter your email” space, type address@example.com:
Then tap NEXT.
5. Choose the “IMAP” account type
Tap Personal (IMAP) when Gmail asks you for the account type:
Then tap NEXT.
6. Enter your password
Type your email password:
Then tap NEXT.
7. Enter the Incoming Server Settings
Use these settings:
Username: | address@example.com |
Password: | your email password |
Server: | mail.tigertech.net |
It should look like this:
Then tap NEXT.
8. Enter the Outgoing Server Settings
Make sure that Require signin is on, then use the same settings:
Username: | address@example.com |
Password: | your email password |
SMTP Server: | mail.tigertech.net |
It should look like this:
Then tap NEXT until it tells you that the account is set up.
9. Enter your name
The final screen will ask you for an optional account name, and for the name to be “displayed on send messages”. It should work no matter what you put here, but we recommend making the “account name” be address@example.com. Your name to be “displayed on sent messages” should usually just be your full name, like “Eleanor Roosevelt”:
Then tap NEXT again, and you’re finished!
