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:
- Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.1 Jellybean)
- Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich)
- Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3 Gingerbread)

Step 7
- Give the account a name - a basic description to help you identify this account if you have more than one email address set up on your phone.
- Make sure that Your name is correct - this is displayed on all outgoing messages and is how people see your name when they receive email from you.
- Once your name and account name are correct, click Done to complete set-up.
