Open the mail application on your Android device, select Add New Account, and enter the mailbox name and password.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790829725946\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the IMAP and SMTP settings for Android?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">IMAP Server: imap.stackmail.com, Security Type: SSL, Port 993. SMTP Server: smtp.stackmail.com, Security Type: SSL, Port 465. The username is the same as your mailbox name.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790829766037\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will my emails sync automatically on Android?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. After you set up email on Android using IMAP, your inbox, sent items, and folders will sync automatically.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fisthost.com\/blog\/how-do-i-set-up-email-on-my-iphone\/\">How Do I Set Up Email on My iPhone<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fisthost.com\/blog\/how-do-i-setup-email-in-outlook\/\">How Do I Setup Email in Outlook<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fisthost.com\/blog\/what-details-should-i-use-for-a-wordpress-smtp-plugin\/\">What Details Should I Use for a WordPress SMTP Plugin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Troubleshooting Email Issues on Android<\/h2>\n<p>If your Android mail app cannot connect, work through these checks in order. First, confirm you typed the full email address (for example name@yourdomain.com) as the username \u2014 using only the part before the @ sign is the most common mistake. Second, double-check the password by signing into webmail in your phone&#8217;s browser; if webmail works, the password is correct and the problem is in the app settings.<\/p>\n<p>Third, verify the security settings: IMAP must use SSL on port 993 and SMTP must use SSL on port 465. If your app only offers STARTTLS, use port 587 for SMTP instead. Fourth, make sure authentication is enabled for the outgoing server, using the same username and password as incoming mail.<\/p>\n<h2>Sync Settings Worth Adjusting<\/h2>\n<p>After the account works, open the account&#8217;s sync settings in your mail app. Syncing 30 days of mail is a good balance between having history available and keeping storage use low. Enable push or frequent sync for the inbox so new messages arrive promptly, but consider manual sync for large folders like Sent or Archive to save battery.<\/p>\n<p>If you use both a phone and a tablet, IMAP keeps everything consistent across devices. Avoid POP3 on mobile devices, since it downloads messages to one device and can remove them from the server, making them invisible on your other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One last tip: if you switch phones, simply add the same IMAP account on the new device \u2014 all your emails, folders, and read statuses sync automatically from the server. There is nothing to transfer manually, which is another reason IMAP beats POP3 for mobile use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s how to set up a&nbsp;FistHost&nbsp;email on an Android phone or tablet: Select&nbsp;Sign In&nbsp;and the mailbox will be added to your Android.&nbsp; After you set up email Android, your inbox, sent items, and folders will sync automatically if you used IMAP.
