Overview

• This article shares the process for configuring an Android device to synchronize Email with Kerio Connect.
• IMAP synchronizes the email on the client with the contents on the email server, while POP3 downloads the email from the server.
• This procedure assumes that your:
  • Email address matches the myname@mydomain.com naming convention.
  • Kerio Connect server is located at mail.mydomain.com.

IMPORTANT: This article is based on the Android 8 and the built-in Gmail app as a standard Mail application. The settings may vary depending on the Android version and device manufacturer.

Process

Follow these steps:

1. On your mobile home screen, go to applications and tap the Email icon.
   • If this is the first time to set up an email account, you will see an email setup screen, tap Next. Otherwise, go to Menu > Accounts > Add account.
     
2. Choose an Account type - Personal IMAP or Personal POP3.
   
3. Enter your entire email address (for example, myname@mydomain.com).
   
4. Go to Manual setup > IMAP or POP3.
   
5. Enter the following:

     Note: for a POP3 account, the standard secure port is 995

   • SMTP server — Enter the secure server name: mail.mydomain.com
