Set Up Email in the Gmail App on Android
The Gmail app on Android handles non-Gmail addresses perfectly — your domain email appears alongside any Google accounts you already use.
Your mail server settings
| Setting | IMAP (multi-device) | POP3 (download to one computer) |
|---|---|---|
| Incoming server | mail.yourdomain.com | |
| Incoming port | 993 (SSL/TLS) | 995 (SSL/TLS) |
| Outgoing server (SMTP) | mail.yourdomain.com | |
| Outgoing port | 465 (SSL/TLS) | |
| Username | your full email address (e.g. you@yourdomain.com) | |
| Password | the email account password set in cPanel | |
| Authentication | Required — same as incoming / normal password | |
Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain. The exact hostname is in cPanel → Email Accounts → Connect Devices — see finding your mail server settings.
Step-by-step
- Open the Gmail app → tap your profile photo (top-right) → Add another account.
- Choose Other.
- Enter your full email address → Next → choose Personal (IMAP) if asked.
- Enter the password → Next.
- Incoming server screen: change Server to mail.yourdomain.com → Next.
- Outgoing server screen: ensure "Require sign-in" is on, username = full address, Server = mail.yourdomain.com → Next.
- Set sync options (frequency, notifications) → Next, give the account a display name → Done.
- Test: pull to refresh the inbox and send yourself a message.
💡 Good to know
- The Gmail app auto-selects SSL ports (993/465); if it asks, choose SSL/TLS — never "None".
- Samsung Mail and other Android mail apps use the same settings from the table above.
- Your domain mail stays separate from any Gmail account — switch between them via the profile photo menu.
