How to add E-Mail to your Mobile Device / Cell Phone

You may add your hosted e-mail accounts to your mobile devices / cell phone via a few different ways. Below we will show you how on your Android and iOS devices.

Android
Because Google is phasing out their stock 'Mail' app in favor of their Gmail app, we will show you how to add your e-mail address to the Gmail app. However, we recommend using an app called K-9 Mail. The main difference is the Gmail app does not offer Push support for non Gmail accounts. In other words you will not be notified immediately after receiving an e-mail, your device will instead check for mail every X amount of minutes. K-9 Mail supports Push notifications so you will be notified immediately upon receiving the e-mail. We will show you how to add your e-mail account to both the Gmail app and K-9 Mail.

Option 1: Gmail.
  1. Make sure you have the Gmail app downloaded to your device, then open the Gmail app.
