Next, choose the type of account you wish to set up, IMAP or POP. In this example, we’ll set up an IMAP account.

Android will now ask you to enter the email address password. Simply fill it in and click Next.

On the screen that follows, enter the full email address for the username, along with the account password and incoming server name, then click next.

NOTE: The incoming server will be mail.papamail.net regardless of whether you are setting up IMAP or POP.

On the screen that follows, enter the outgoing mail settings. Ensure that Require sign-in for emails is toggled to the on (green) position, as highlighted (red) in the screenshot below.

The username is always the full email address.

Android will also ask you to confirm some further Account options for your email checking frequency. You can set this as you wish, then click Next.

Next, you will see a confirmation message indicating that the account has been set up successfully. This is where you will also set up the name you want displayed when sending emails from this device.
