Our man won’t go into his pocket for a word, but for mail he will. No, we are not talking about an envelope with a letter taken out of a box and stuffed into a pocket, but about a smartphone, which is our personal “postman” in a modern version.
Many people think that Android phones allow access, which is linked to a Google account, and iPhones only work with a mailbox that is associated with an Apple ID. And that other email accounts require additional programs. In fact, gadgets have enough capabilities for everything. Let's talk about how to set up email on your phone to receive emails from all your accounts in one mailbox - built into the system.
Setting up mail in the Gmail app on Android
Adding and setting up a new account
Mail client " Gmail", pre-installed on Android phones, can be used to assemble letters from various mail services, except those that do not support third-party applications, such as the highly secure ProtonMail and Tutanota. By default, it collects emails only addressed to the Google account associated with the device.
To connect another email account to the Gmail client, do the following:
- Launch the application. If anyone doesn’t know, his label is a white envelope with a red letter “M”.
- Tap the hamburger button and open the side menu. To access the account management section, tap the triangle circled in the screenshot.
- Select " +Add account».
- Select the mail service you want to connect. For example, if the domain name of the server where your mailbox is located is yandex.ru or ya.ru, choose Yandex; if gmail.com, choose Google, etc. If the service you need is not in the list, your choice is “ Another" We will analyze further actions using the last option as an example.
- Enter your email address. To set it to default settings, click " Further" If you want to specify your settings, tap the " Manually».
- If you choose manual setup, the program will ask you to specify one of three account type options. For personal mail, these are POP3 or IMAP protocols (you can find out what to choose from the user manual of your mail service). For mail on a corporate server - Exchange, unless otherwise used.
- Enter your login or full mailbox address and password again to log in.
- In the next step, specify the incoming message server. If the program does not detect it itself, you will have to once again refer to the manual of your mail service.
- Next, enter the address of the outgoing message server and, if desired, enable automatic login. Then you won’t have to enter a password every time you access your mailbox.
- The basic setup is almost complete. The only thing left to do is to allow or disable synchronization of the program with the mail server. If allowed, set the synchronization frequency (15 minutes by default), and also enable or disable notification of new emails and auto-downloading of attachments when the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
- Account added. As a final step, you can change your name, which will be displayed in the emails you send. By default, the account login is specified instead of the name.
You can finish here, but if you want to customize the new box more subtly, open the side menu in the application again, scroll down and tap the button Settings».
Select the account you want to edit.
The following parameters are available for change:
- Account name (email address).
- Your name (by default, this is your account name).
- Signature in the letter.
- Linking an address to another Gmail account.
- Request to display images in emails (if your Internet connection is slow or is charged based on traffic volume, it is better to enable it).
- Synchronization with the mail server and its frequency (high frequency of synchronization increases the amount of traffic and speeds up the drain of the phone battery).
- Automatic downloading of files attached to emails when connected to Wi-Fi.
- Notifications about new letters.
- Sorting of incoming correspondence by categories (unsorted letters, social networks, forums, promotions and notifications). Not supported by all email services.
- Automatic response to incoming emails. Not supported by all email services.
- Automatic substitution of quick answers. Not supported by all email services.
- Select a ringtone to notify you of an incoming message.
- Adding shortcuts.
- Vibrating alarm to notify you that a letter has been received.
- Incoming and outgoing mail servers (user name, address, port and encryption type), etc.
In exactly the same way, accounts for other mail services are added to Gmail. There are no restrictions on quantity. It is usually not necessary to use manual settings, as described above, except for connecting corporate or some exotic mail accounts. In other cases, the application selects the optimal parameters by default.
How to change and delete your Gmail account
By default, Gmail only displays correspondence from one account—the currently active one. To check another person's mail, you need to make it active.
All connected accounts are displayed in the top field of the main application menu (hidden behind the “hamburger” button). To switch between them, just touch the desired shortcut. And to simultaneously download messages from all your mail, select “ All boxes».
To delete an account from the Gmail application, click the triangle button in the main menu and open “ Account management».
Next, select the email service and account you want to delete. On the next screen, highlight the desired address again and go to the menu hidden behind the “three dots” button (top right). Tap " Delete account».
Setting up mail on iPhone and iPad
Connect and set up your account
Adding and setting up an email account on Apple mobile devices is no more labor-intensive than on Android, but, in my opinion, it is less intuitive. And they are executed not in the mail section, but in “ Accounts and passwords».
To use a different email account on your iPhone or iPad other than the one linked to your Apple ID, do the following:
- In the list, tap " Accounts» point « Add».
- Select the mail service where your mailbox is registered. If it is not in the list of suggestions, click " Other».
- Next, select the section “ Mail" And " New account».
- Enter your account information: username (by default the email account login is entered), email address, password and description (the latter by default matches the mailbox address). Tap the button Further».
- In the next window - IMAP, check " Mail" Paragraph " Notes» It is not necessary to mark. Save the setting.
- Next, if you think the settings are sufficient, click “ Ready" A new account will be added. If you want to edit settings that are not displayed in this window, click " Additionally».
In chapter " Additionally» contains the following options:
- Behavior of boxes. Allows you to assign or change the roles of some folders - drafts, sent, archived and deleted messages.
- The place to move unnecessary letters is to the trash or archive box.
- Frequency of emptying the recycle bin (complete destruction of deleted messages). The default is one week.
- Options for receiving incoming correspondence: use SSL encryption, select an authentication method, IMAP server port number, and IMAP path prefix.
- Whether to use S/MIME encryption. Disabled by default, supported by most but not all email services.
After closing the settings window, you will be taken to the newly created account section. By the way, there is also a button to delete it.
Now the mail program built into the system will receive letters, including from this mailbox.
Setting up the mail application
The parameters of the built-in mail program are configured, as you probably already guessed, through the section “ Mail».
The following is collected here:
- Application integration with Siri and search system.
- Ways to notify about incoming correspondence (ringtone and sticker). You can assign individual notification settings to each mailbox.
- Message list display: number of rows to display when viewed, labels, swipe options (right, left, adding a flag, etc.), flag style and color.
- Actions when reading a message (request confirmation for deleting a message, uploading pictures).
- Sorting and processing of correspondence: grouping by topic, collapsing read letters, location of the last message (top or bottom), ending topics (showing a chain of letters that make up one topic, even if they have been moved to other folders).
- Options for the message being created: sending a copy of the letter to yourself, marking addresses, indentation when inserting a quote, signatures - general or separate for each account, and the default account from which new letters will be sent.
As you can see, the email program on Apple phones and tablets allows you to completely configure it to suit your own needs. Not every third-party application can boast such functionality. Another plus in the collection of mailers built into the system - both on Android and Apple - is the absence of advertising, which almost all free analogues are stuffed with. So both programs are quite good.
Johnny MnemonicOne of the most popular functions in any modern smartphone is an email client that allows you to receive and send emails from various services, be it standard search engine services Google, Yandex or third-party email services, for example, Mail, Beeline and others. In this material we will describe to you in detail how to set up mail on your Android and how to create backup copies of your letters!
You can set up mail not only using standard means of the system itself, but also using specialized applications downloaded from the Google Play service, as well as directly from the browser by logging in with your account.
So, the process of setting up mail can be divided into three different categories:
- Setting up mail using system tools in OS Android.
- Setting up mail in applications.
- Setting up mail on Android in browsers.
Attention! Whatever service you use to send and receive emails, the essence of email does not change. Almost all projects for working with emails use identical technologies.
1. Setting up mail using the operating system itself
So, how to set up mail on Android? Standard tools of this system allow you to receive and send letters from an attached email address, for example, the same Gmail or connecting a separate address for working with mail. We will consider both options.
The first option is Standard Mail from Google
Initially, we will consider the option of working with standard mail from Google. As soon as you add an account for your smartphone running the Android operating system, mail will be set up automatically, and all messages will be downloaded to your device, both previously read and not yet opened.
To work with accounts and configure them, you need to go to the “Settings” tab, select “Accounts and synchronization”, and then log in to the account in which your mail is attached. In this case, we are talking specifically about Google - the Gmail service, which is used by millions of people around the world.
Second option - Connecting mail from third-party services
Let's say that you use mail from Yandex or Mail.ru. What to do in this case? As mentioned earlier, the principle of operation of mail services is the same, the only thing is that some settings in the records differ.
To set up mail in any other service, you need to select the E-mail application in the main menu of the system and open it. First try logging in with automatic setup. To do this, simply enter your email address in the “E-mail” field and your password in the “Password” field. Once the data has been entered, click the “Next” button.
If the system gives an error, return to the previous point and click the “Manual configuration” button. Using the example, we will configure Mail.ru mail.
In the window that appears, enter the settings as in the picture:
For the outgoing message server, set the following parameters:
Attention! All parameters for your email client can be viewed on the official website, for example, www.mail.ru or www.yandex.ru, by going to the appropriate section. In the “Help” section, find the item that mentions setting up mail on your smartphone, and see the list of parameters that you need to register for your account.
Once all the data has been entered, you will need to click on the “Finish” button, after which the system will check the accuracy of the entered data and synchronize with the mail server. All your emails will be automatically downloaded to your phone. You can delete incoming emails from your phone at any time by first making copies. It is also worth considering that several email accounts can be connected on one smartphone, for example, if you work directly with Yandex, Mail.ru and other email services!
2. Setting up mail in Android applications
Above we described a method that allows you to connect and configure mail in the standard options of the Android operating system. In this same paragraph we are talking about specialized applications that are developed specifically for each service, for example, Yandex Mail or Gmail, Mail.ru and many others. The procedure in this case will be as follows:
- Determine what mail you have and where it is registered. For example, if you have mail of this type - [email protected], then it belongs to Yandex if [email protected], then to Mail.ru and so on.
- Go to Google Play and in the search enter the name of the mail service, for example, the same Yandex or Yandex, Mail.ru, Rambler and so on.
- Download the program (mail client) for this mail service and run it.
- Enter your username and password. As practice shows, in most programs the email address can be entered either simply a login or in full email.
- The system will check the correctness of the entered data and automatically download letters from the server to your device.
Each program has its own design, its own specific settings, and separate functionality, so here each user himself determines whether he should check his mail through the official application of the mail service or specify his e-mail through the standard settings in Android.
You can install several programs, for example, to work with Mail, Yandex, Rambler, just keep in mind that this significantly increases battery power consumption.
3. Setting up mail on Android in browsers
Due to the fact that most users prefer to access the Internet from mobile devices and smartphones, many email services have developed a mobile version, with which the site automatically adjusts to the diagonal dimensions of your device. All these operations are carried out in a browser, for example, Safari or Google Chrome, Opera.
In order for you to be able to access your mail service, you need to open any browser on your device and write its name in the search engine or immediately go to the official website, for example, at www.yandex.ru to work with mail from Yandex. Next, you go to the “Mail” tab, enter your username and password. We recommend that you save your password in your browser so that you do not have to enter it every time you log in.
Subsequent times you will be logged into your email account automatically as soon as the page opens. In your browser settings, you can also add a page to bookmarks to get to the email service with one click.
As you can see, setting up mail on Android is quite simple, and there are many ways to do this! Based on statistical data, we can say with complete confidence that most users prefer to use standard Android settings or specialized applications to work with mail. Exiting through the mobile versions from the browser is carried out only by those people who cannot independently install the application from Google Play or register the settings in Android. What you should do is up to you to decide! Good luck!
When using the Internet, you often need to go through different registrations, which also allow you to communicate with each other. It's much easier to do this on a PC. But if you are a user of an Android device, then it is recommended to use applications to make the task easier.
Increasingly, gadget owners are using social networks to send attachments and documents. But emails were and remain not forgotten. Owners of devices with Android OS have the opportunity to use a special Email application, which is initially installed on the smartphone. But it is also possible to visit the Play Store, where you can download other programs for using mail. Another popular option is mail.ru.
From our article you will learn how to set up mail on Android. It is proposed to consider each of the options in detail.
Smartphone setup
Let's start first with the question of how to set up email on an Android phone. When you access Email on Android OS, you will be prompted to find your existing mail. Eg, [email protected] and enter your password. If you have not previously registered, you should go through this stage. For ease of use, you need to immediately set up Email. It is possible to enter a couple of accounts at once, if you have them. The settings in this case will be general. There are initial ones. You can also make personal settings for each account. Let's take a look at them too.
Server settings
Personal settings
You can decide for yourself what categories of letters you will receive. For example, it could be exclusively social networks and notifications from various stores on the Internet. In order not to miss important messages, it is worth indicating that you would like to receive notifications about new messages on the Android OS. The notification method can also be chosen by you personally.
If messages come only from real users, and you need to leave your email, then you can select the option to install an autoresponder. You'll be able to choose how you want to download attachments, whether they'll show up right away or you'll be able to open them later. Those. If you have unlimited internet connected, there will be no inconvenience.
General settings
If you resort to frequent archiving or delete emails, you can make the actions performed by simply swiping. This gesture will really make your task easier.
When replying to messages from a conference, your message is sent only to the sender of the letter. In this case, you should change your Yandex mail or e-mail in the settings. Then the answer will come to everyone.
In fact, we have covered the most important settings of the application. There is no point in dwelling on those that are less popular. But this article does not end there.
About the mail.ru application
The article discusses the most popular postal service today. A user of an Android OS device can use the application that we described above. You can also customize your gadget for yourself. You don't have to use anything specific. When you log in, you will be asked to enter your mailing address.
The application settings are very similar to those we discussed above. For this reason, there is no point in repeating. The choice of an email application for the Android OS will depend only on you. You have the right to personally determine which interface you prefer to work with, where the space is more conveniently organized, and other aspects.
Setting up mail in Android OS
So, launch the Email client. In the Settings item, select “Add an account”, a form will appear on the screen where you will need to enter your username and password, and then click on the Next button.
On the next screen you will be asked to select a protocol in accordance with which the work with the client will be carried out. Mail servers, as a rule, work with the POP3 and IMAP protocols, where the former collects mail by copying data from the service to the user’s smartphone.
The IMAP protocol allows you to work with mail on the server. Choose what is more convenient for you and click “Login”. If the email is in one of the common email services, the program will independently install other settings and connect to the server. Otherwise, you will need to enter the name of the incoming and outgoing mail server, security settings and ports.
Despite the fact that classic email is losing popularity, it is still one of the most popular methods of online communication. Therefore, users often ask how to set up mail on an Android smartphone.
You can set up mail on Android in two ways: using a client application that is tailored for one email service, or using a universal email program. The first method is best suited if you use only one email service (for example), the second method will be useful for those who need to receive mail from several mailboxes that are located on different mail services. In this material we will look at both of these methods of setting up mail on Android.
Method No. 1. Using a special client application.
If you use one specific email service, then you can download an application created specifically for this service. Such applications are available for all popular email services. As an example, we will demonstrate how this is done for Yandex mail.
First, we need to find and download the client application. To do this, open and enter the name of your email service into the search. Then open the page of the found application.
After installation is complete, launch the application. This can be done directly from the Play Market or using a shortcut on the desktop.
After launching the client application, you should see a form to sign in to your email account. Typically, this form contains only two fields: your login and your password. In general, everything is exactly the same as when accessing mail through a browser.
Enter your username/password and click on the “Login” button. After this, the client application will automatically download your letters and display them on the screen.
As you can see, setting up mail on Android using a special client requires very little effort. Install the application, enter your data and you're done.
Method No. 2: Using a universal email application.
If you want to receive mail from several mail services, or you have corporate mail on a separate domain, then you will have to use universal mail applications. There are quite a lot of such applications for Android. As an example, we will demonstrate how to set up mail using the K9 Mail application as an example.
First, open the Play Market and enter the phrase “K9 Mail” into the search bar. Then open the page of this application.
Here we click on the “Install” button and wait for the installation to complete.
After opening the application, click “Add a new mailbox” and see in front of you a form for entering your login and password. After entering your login and password, you can click on the “Next” button, in which case the application will try to connect to the mail server using standard settings. If you need to enter the settings manually, then click on the “Manual” button.
After clicking on the “Manual” button, the application will ask you to select the protocol type for accessing your email. For example, let's choose POP3. You can choose the one you need.
The next stage is settings for accessing the mail server. Here you need to enter the server address, security method, connection port and authentication method.
Information about the settings to use can be found in the help of your email service. Or from your administrator if you use corporate email. After filling out all the fields, click on the “Next” button.
If all the entered settings are correct, then after clicking on the “Next” button, the program should download your mail and display it on the screen.
Below you can find, if not all, then almost all the answers to the questions that have arisen on this topic.
The digital world is increasingly integrated into everyday reality. Pay for purchases or bills for housing and communal services, transfer funds, etc. , now it is quite possible without leaving a cozy chair.
