Step 1: Navigate to the Email Settings
First, open the email app on your Huawei device by tapping on the email icon. Once the app is open, locate the settings menu. This menu is usually represented by three vertically aligned dots or three horizontal lines at the top-right or bottom-right corner of the app.
Step 2: Access the Account Settings
Once you have opened the settings menu, scroll down and find the option for “Account Settings” or “Email Settings.” Tap on this option to proceed.
Step 3: Select Your Email Account
In the Account Settings menu, you will see a list of email accounts that you have already set up on your Huawei device. Tap on the account that you want to activate IMAP and SMTP for.
Step 4: Enable IMAP
After selecting your desired email account, scroll down the account settings page until you find the option for “IMAP.” It is usually located under the “Incoming Server” or “Advanced Settings” section. Toggle the switch or checkbox next to “IMAP” to enable it.
Step 5: Configure IMAP Settings
Now that IMAP is enabled, you may need to configure additional settings. These settings include the incoming mail server hostname, port number, security type, and more. Consult your email service provider’s documentation or support for the correct IMAP settings. Once the settings are entered, tap on the “Save” or “Next” button to proceed.
Step 6: Enable SMTP
Similarly to enabling IMAP, scroll down the account settings page until you find the option for “SMTP” or “Outgoing Server.” Toggle the switch or checkbox next to “SMTP” to enable it.
Step 7: Configure SMTP Settings
Like configuring IMAP settings, configuring SMTP settings requires you to enter the outgoing mail server hostname, port number, security type, and other details. Consult your email service provider’s documentation or support for the correct SMTP settings. After entering the details, tap on the “Save” or “Next” button to save the changes.
Step 8: Test Your Email Settings
Once you have activated both IMAP and SMTP and configured the settings, it is crucial to test if everything is working correctly. Open your email app and try sending and receiving emails. If the emails go through successfully, congratulations – you have successfully activated IMAP and SMTP on your Huawei device!
Following these steps will ensure that you can seamlessly use your email account on your Huawei device. Remember to consult your email service provider’s documentation or support if you encounter any issues during the setup process. Enjoy the convenience of accessing your emails on the go with your Huawei device!
