Android Mail Setup #

In this guide we will be walking you through the process of configuring email on Android as an IMAP account. We are using a Samsung Android Phone. If you are using a different version of Android these instructions may differ slightly from the screenshots.

Enter Account Information #

Enter your Email Address & Password into the appropriate fields. If you want this to be your default account enable SET AS DEFAULT ACCOUNT. In most cases you can click on SIGN IN and it will autodetect and autoconfigure your settings for you (and you should be done). If SIGN IN gives you an error you can use MANUAL SETUP.

Select Type of Connection #

If this is not your primary device for email, then you probably want to select IMAP ACCOUNT so that the emails that you send & receive on this device are available to other devices (such as your laptop or computer).

Enter the following information (you should only need to change the IMAP & SMTP Server names):

IMAP server: smartermail.scarabmedia.com
Security Type: SSL
Port: 993

SMTP server: smartermail.scarabmedia.com
Security Type: TLS
Port: 587
Require authentication to send emails: On

Tap on [NEXT] when complete.
