In this guide, you will learn how to set up your email, for the new Webnode webmail interface, for phones with the Android operating system (specifically Android 13). The values in the guide are also valid for most other email clients and versions of the Android operating system.
Before setting up the email client, you need to create an email address in the Webnode system.
WARNING: If you are using the original web interface, you can link your email account to Android following the instructions
Adding Your Webnode Email Address to Android Device.
To set up Android, follow these steps:
1. Open the phone settings and select Passwords and Accounts.
2. Scroll down and click the Add account button.
3. Here, choose either Personal (POP3) or Personal (IMAP). You will learn the difference between POP and IMAP accounts at the end of this guide.
4. Enter the email address created in Webnode.
5. Enter the password for the email address created in Webnode.
6. Incoming server settings:
Username is the full email address created in Webnode.
Password is the password for this email address.
Server is imap.mail.webnode.com
7. Outgoing mail server settings:
Username is the full email address created in Webnode.
Password is the password for this email address.
SMTP server is smtp.mail.webnode.com
8. Here, you can further set up your preferred synchronization options and continue by pressing Next.
9. In the Your Name field, you can enter the name by which emails from the added address will be sent. Complete the setup by clicking Next.
This completes the setup.
Final TIPS:
1. What is the difference between a POP and an IMAP account?
Both are incoming mail protocols, meaning the way the email client handles incoming messages stored on the mail server.
With POP (POP3), messages are downloaded to your device. This means they are deleted from the server, and you will not be able to read them on another computer or through another email client. However, the advantage of POP is that messages will be available on your computer even without an internet connection. The POP protocol is suitable if you have a weak internet connection or if you always check your email on a single device.
IMAP, unlike POP, displays messages on the mail server in real-time. Any changes you make on one device will reflect on another device or email client. For example, if you delete an incoming email on your mobile phone, this change will also appear on all other devices you use, as well as in the webmail interface. Sent emails will also be visible across all devices. Keep in mind that IMAP requires a constant internet connection.
If you travel frequently and use the internet on mobile devices and different computers, IMAP will be the better option for you.
