While email setup is generally standardised across most Android phones, because Android is open-source software, the Mail client on your Android phone may appear completely different to the one shown in this guide.
This guide has been tested on the following Android phones:
- Desire HD (Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
- HTC One X (Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich)
