Setting up email accounts on your Android device is important for staying connected and managing your messages while you’re on the move. In this guide, we’ll show you how to quickly and easily set up your email on an Android phone or tablet.

Whether you’re setting up a personal or work email, these steps will help you get your account up and running. By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to send and receive emails on your Android device just like you would on a computer.

1. Open the Gmail App

Gmail provides an easy-to-use interface and seamless integration with Google services, making it a great choice for managing your email accounts. You can even use it to set up emails from other providers, like Hostinger.

To get started, locate the Gmail app on your Android device. You can find and tap the Gmail icon on your home screen or in the app drawer. Alternatively, use the Google Search widget on your home screen, type “Gmail,” and tap the Gmail app icon from the search results.

If you can’t find the Gmail app using the methods mentioned earlier, it means that Gmail is not pre-installed on your device. To install Gmail on your phone, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app.
 
  1. Enter Gmail in the search bar.
  2. Tap Install to download its latest version.

2. Add a New Email Account

Once you have the Gmail app open, it’s time to set up your email account:

  1. Tap the menu icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Go to Settings → Add account.
  1. Choose the email provider you want to add. Since we’ll configure a Hostinger email address, select Other.

3. Enter Your Email Details

After selecting the provider, enter your email details and select the account type:

  1. Enter your full email address and tap NEXT.
  1. Choose between POP3 and IMAP as your account type. We recommend IMAP because it syncs your email across multiple devices, so any changes you make will be reflected everywhere.
  1. Enter the password associated with your email account.

4. Configure Server Settings

Configuring your server settings will ensure your email account works properly on your Android device. Here’s how to configure Hostinger email’s settings on Gmail:

  1. Log in to hPanel and go to Emails → Manage next to your email account.
  1. Select Connect Apps & Devices from the email dashboard’s left sidebar.
  2. Look for the Manual Configuration section to find the incoming and outgoing server details.
  1. On Gmail’s Incoming server settings screen, enter the incoming server’s hostname in the appropriate field.
  1. Enter the outgoing server’s hostname in the SMTP server field and tap NEXT.
 

5. Customize Account Options

Customizing your account options helps your emails stay organized and responsive. Here are the key settings to configure:

  • Email checking frequency. Choose how often your device checks for new emails. This can range from manual refresh to every 1 hour.
  • Notifications. Enable notifications for new emails to stay informed.
  • Sync email. Ensure your emails, folders, and read/unread status are updated across all devices.
  • Attachment settings. Choose whether attachments are automatically downloaded when your device is connected to Wi-Fi.

After setting up these options, tap NEXT.

6. Complete the Setup

Once you’ve customized your account options, follow these final steps to complete the setup:

  1. Enter your account and display name. Then, tap NEXT.
  1. Your email account setup is now complete, and you’ll be redirected to the Inbox screen.
  2. If you’ve previously configured another account, tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select the newly added email address to switch between accounts.

If you encounter any issues during setup, follow these troubleshooting tips:

  • Recheck the email address and password. Ensure that you have entered the correct email address and password.
  • Adjust server settings. Double-check that your incoming and outgoing server settings are correct.
  • Update the Gmail app. Make sure you have the latest version of the Gmail app installed.
  • Security permissions. Verify that the necessary security permissions are granted for the Gmail app.

Conclusion

In this guide, you’ve learned how to set up email accounts on Android devices using the Gmail app. From opening the app to adjusting server settings and customizing your options, these steps will help keep your emails organized across all your devices.
