How to configure Android email #

We offer both secure and non-secure methods of connecting to our email server. The secure method protects your password from being intercepted (by using an SSL certificate)

As Android no longer has a default email app, these instructions apply to all email apps; however, the process for launching and accessing settings will vary.

Secure Method #

1. Launch your email app
2. Tap on Settings
3. Tap on Add account
   1. Name: Your user’s first and last name
   2. Email: Your email account’s username (user@domain.com)
   3. Password: Your email account’s password
   4. Description: A brief description of this account
4. Select IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)  or POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)
   1. INCOMING MAIL SERVER:
      • Host Name: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
      • User Name: Your email account’s username (ex: user@domain.com)
      • Password: Your email account’s password
      • Port: IMAP = 993  / POP3 = 995
      • Tap SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)
   2. OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:
      • Host Name: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
      • User Name: Your email account’s username (ex: user@domain.com)
      • Password: Your email account’s password
      • SMTP Port: 465
      • Tap SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)
      • Check – Require authentication to send emails
   3. Complete the rest of the setup (varies from app to app)

Unsecure Method

1. Launch your email app
2. Tap on Settings
3. Tap on Add account
   1. Name: Your user’s first and last name
   2. Email: Your email account’s username (user@domain.com)
   3. Password: Your email account’s password
   4. Description: A brief description of this account
4. Select IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)  or POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)
   1. INCOMING MAIL SERVER:
      • Host Name: mail.domain.com
      • User Name: Your email account’s username (ex: user@domain.com)
      • Password: Your email account’s password
      • Port: IMAP = 143/ POP3 = 110
   2. OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:
      • Host Name: mail.domain.com
      • User Name: Your email account’s username (ex: user@domain.com)
      • Password: Your email account’s password
      • SMTP Port: 25 or 587 (if outgoing mail fails, try port 587)
      • Check – Requires authentication to send emails
   3. Complete the rest of the setup (varies from app to app)

POP3 downloads email from a server to a single computer, then deletes it from the server. On the other hand, IMAP stores messages on a server and synchronizes them across multiple devices.

Our servers do not support using a secure method and your domain name; you must use dixie.simplywebservices.net
