Step 1: Open the Settings App
On your Android device, locate and open the Settings app. It’s usually represented by a gear icon. If you can’t find it on your home screen, try accessing it through the app drawer.
Step 2: Locate and Tap on “Accounts”
Within the Settings app, scroll down until you find the “Accounts” option and tap on it. This option may also be labeled as “Users & Accounts” or something similar depending on your Android version.
Step 3: Add an Account
Once in the “Accounts” menu, you will see a list of accounts already added to your Android device. To add a new email account, tap on the “Add account” option.
Step 4: Select Email Provider
A list of popular email providers will be displayed on your screen. If your email provider is listed, select it. Alternatively, tap on the “Other” option if your provider is not listed or if you’re self-hosting your email.
Step 5: Enter Your Email Address
After selecting your email provider or choosing the “Other” option, a prompt will appear asking you to enter your email address. Type in your complete email address and proceed.
Step 6: Enter Your Password
Next, you’ll be prompted to enter your email account’s password. Type in your password correctly to continue.
Step 7: Follow the On-screen Prompts
Depending on your email provider, you may need to grant certain permissions for your Android device to access your email account. Follow the on-screen prompts and provide the necessary permissions, if requested.
Step 8: Configure Additional Settings
After granting permissions, you may be prompted to configure additional settings such as syncing options and notification preferences. Customize these settings according to your preferences or leave them as default.
