This guide takes you step-by-step through the process of setting up a new email account in Gmail on your cell phone or tablet.
To setup your email on a laptop or computer, see How to setup your domain email in Gmail
Replace example.com with your domain name.
Check your password First, check your password by browsing to Webmail and trying to log in. If you aren’t able to log in, then you have the incorrect password. Forgotten passwords can be reset in konsoleH – you will need to get your domain or web administrator to update it for you if you don’t have konsoleH access. Add your mail account Open Gmail on your mobile device. If this is your first mail account to be setup, skip to step 4 Tap the profile pic at the top right of the screen

Tap Next at the top right of your screen Outgoing server settings User name: the full email address Password: your mail account password – the same as step 7 SMTP server: smtp. followed by your domain name e.g. smtp.example.com Port: 465 Security type: SSL/TLS
Tap Next The account settings will be tested and you will then receive a success message. Add you name as you would like it to appear on your sent mail
