Remember that, if you have an Enhanced account, you can use ActiveSync, to not only sync e-mails, but also contacts and events.

### How to set up your email on an Android device

Here's the step by step for setting up an IMAP account on Android's native mail app.

<div class="wiki-content" id="bkmrk-press-the-device%27s%C2%A0m">- Press the device's **Menu** button.
- Tap **Settings**.
- Go to **Manage Accounts**
- Click on **Add account**.
- Click on **Email / Personal (IMAP)**
- **Username**: enter your full e-mail address
- If an account type is asked, choose **IMAP account**.
- **Password**: enter your email's password.
- **Incoming server settings**
    - Username: your full email address
    - Password: your email's password
    - Server: `imap.emailarray.com` . Android will automatically use yourdomain.com as host and you need to change it.
- **Outgoing server settings**
    - Require signin: **YES**
    - Username: your full email address
    - Password: your email's password
    - SMTP server: `smtp.emailarray.com` . Android will automatically use yourdomain.com as host and you need to change it.
- Account options: Optionally, you can set up specific details such as interval for checking mail, if you want to be notified, etc.
- On the last page, Android gives you the option to change the *Account name* (will appear in your list) and *Your name* (will appear to recipients).
- Click on **Next** to finalize the procedure.

If you want to set up the account as POP, you have to set it up manually. IMAP is a protocol made to support several devices accessing one same account, with all folders synced at our server, which also guarantees that our backups will be executed.</td></tr></tbody></table>
