By the end of this knowledgebase article, you’ll know how to add your first IMAP Email Account to Edison on Android, as well as additional IMAP Email Accounts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding Your First IMAP Email Account<\/h2>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> If you haven’t downloaded & installed Edison Mail yet, you can click here<\/a> to open the Play Store and do so. After opening Edison for the first time, you’ll see a screen that looks similar to the one below.<\/p>\n

Tap<\/strong> Add<\/strong> Other<\/strong> Account<\/strong> to proceed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Edison is able to connect to a wide variety of email accounts. Since we’re setting up an IMAP Account, tap<\/strong> Other<\/strong> to proceed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Enter the Email<\/strong> Address<\/strong> and<\/strong> Password<\/strong> for the account you are adding. Also, slide<\/strong> the Advanced<\/strong> Settings<\/strong> toggle<\/strong> to on.<\/p>\n

Then tap<\/strong> Login<\/strong> in the top right corner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> There’s a lot of fields on this screen. Let’s imagine there’s a line dividing the screen into two.<\/p>\n

For the top half:<\/p>\n

In the Email<\/strong> field, ensure the email<\/strong> address<\/strong> you’re adding is entered.
\nIn the Hostname<\/strong> field, enter mail.yourdomain.tld<\/strong>
\nYou can leave the Username field blank
\nEnter the password<\/strong> for the account you’re adding
\nEnsure the Port<\/strong> is set to 993<\/strong>
\nEnsure SSL<\/strong> is set next to Security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Important Note!<\/strong> When you tap the field next to Security, a pop up like the one below will appear. Choose<\/strong> SSL<\/strong> from this popup, if it is not already chosen for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moving on to the bottom half of this setup screen:<\/p>\n

Again, enter the Hostname<\/strong> as mail.yourdomain.tld<\/strong>
\nYou can leave the Username and Password fields blank on this section.
\nEnsure the Port<\/strong> is set to 465<\/strong>
\nAnd lastly, ensure SSL<\/strong> is selected<\/strong> next to Security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just like with the Security – SSL setting on the top half. when you tap the section next to Security, a popup will appear with various Security Options. Tap<\/strong> SSL<\/strong> if it is not already chosen for you.<\/p>\n

Your configuration should look similar to the one below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After you’ve entered your account information into each of the necessary fields, tap<\/strong> Login<\/strong> in the top right to proceed.<\/p>\n
