The hardest part of configuring your email account manually is knowing what information you need to enter. Once you have the information, configuring the rest of your account is very easy! Therefore, before we begin, let’s figure out what information we need!
Email address: the email address for the account that you are trying to set up
Password: the password for the email address that you are setting up
Server name: mail.YourDomain.com (ex: mail.Arvixe.com) If mail.YourDomain.com doesn’t work, you will find this information in your webmail login under Settings then Email Accounts.
Incoming and Outgoing Server Ports: For the incoming server, this may be 143. For the outgoing server, this may be 25. If port 143 or 25 does not work, you can easily find this information in your webmail login under Settings then Email Accounts.
Now that we have the information ready, let’s set up the email account on your Android phone!
1) Go to Settings
2) Tap on Accounts
3) Then select Add Account
4) Choose Email

12) Tap where it says POP mail server and select IMAP mail server
13) Enter your connection details. For Server, enter your domain’s mail server. Most of the time, it is mail.YourDomain.com (ex: mail.Arvixe.com). If mail.YourDomain.com doesn’t work, you will find this information in your webmail login under Settings then Email Accounts. For Username, enter your email address. For Password, enter the correct password for the email address.
14) Tap Advanced settings
15) Make sure Use secure connection and Verify Certificate are unchecked

20) Enter your connection details. For SMTP server, enter your domain’s mail server. Most of the time, it is mail.YourDomain.com (ex: mail.Arvixe.com). If mail.YourDomain.com doesn’t work, you will find this information in your webmail login under Settings then Email Accounts. For Username, enter your email address. For Password, enter the correct password for the email address.
21) Tap Advanced settings

25) Tap OK
26) Tap OK one more time to finish configuring your email account.
You will now see your email account listed.
Note:
With the current settings in this tutorial, any emails that you send or receive will not be secure. This means that everything sent or received can be intercepted as clear text. This is due to the certificate naming conflict between your mail account and your domain. Because of the conflict, the phone would display an error and show a connection failure. However, when we chose to deselect the certificate validation in the settings, we were able to bypass this problem.
If you encounter an error, please double check that your information is entered properly, or that your server name and ports are correct. If you continue experiencing difficulties manually configuring your email account, feel free to leave a comment and ask for help!
