  • 0

Setting up your Plesk email account on your Android phone is straightforward. Please be aware that the following instructions are for Light Touch Technologies (LTT) customers only. The settings mentioned below are specific to a Plesk server which is the operating platform that Light Touch Technologies uses for their web hosting server.

Follow these steps:

Open the Email Application on Your Android Phone:

  • Begin by opening the default email application on your Android device. This app is typically labeled as “Email” or “Mail,” depending on your device’s make and model.

Choose “Add Account”:

  • Within the email application, look for the option to “Add Account.” You’ll find this either in the settings menu or as a prompt when you first open the app. Select “Add Account” to start the setup process.

Select Account Type (IMAP or POP3):

  • Plesk supports both IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol) for email retrieval.
  • Choose the option that best suits your needs:
    • IMAP: Recommended for accessing emails from multiple devices.
    • POP3: Downloads emails to a single device.

Enter Your Email Account Details:

  • Provide the required information:
    • Your full email address (This is your email username)
    • Email Password (This is the password you created when you made your email account.)
    • Incoming and outgoing mail server details (usually in the format “mail.yourdomain.com”). Your actual domain name being hosted by LTT will replace "yourdomain.com".

Configure Incoming and Outgoing Server Settings:

  • Ensure the correct server settings are configured:
    • For IMAP, use port 993.
    • For POP3, use port 995.
    • Outgoing server (SMTP) typically uses port 465.

Choose Account Options:

  • Select additional options based on your preferences:
    • Synchronization frequency
    • Whether to sync contacts and calendar
    • Amount of past emails to sync

Complete Setup and Sync:

  • Click “Next” or “Finish” to complete the setup.
  • Your Android phone will now sync with your Plesk email account, allowing you to access your emails directly from the device’s email application.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully connected your Light Touch Technologies email account to your Android phone. Enjoy the convenience of receiving and sending emails on the go! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
