Android Phone Setup

Setting up your Android phone is relatively easy. Each of the different versions of Android (Samsung, LG, Nexus, etc.) looks slightly different but the information below will help you set up as easily as possible.

The Short Answer(s)

If you know what you are doing then the short answer(s) are:

  • TYPE:  IMAP or POP3 work (we recommend IMAP)
  • Incoming Server:  mail.b.hostedemail.com
  • Outgoing Server: mail.b.hostedemail.com
  • Username: your email address (ie, me@semo.net) is your username
  • SSL: YES for incoming and outgoing servers

    3. Security Type:  SSL – YES
    4. Port number (leave it to whatever it is)
    5. Username:  add the @semo.net because your username is your full email address
