# Set up email on Android
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/email/android



Add your WebGee mailbox to an Android phone or tablet. Applies to every WebGee
Workspace mailbox.

These steps use the Gmail app, which ships on most Android devices. Other mail
apps follow the same pattern, and the server settings are identical.

## Add your mailbox [#add-your-mailbox]

1. Open **Gmail**.
2. Select your profile picture, then **Add another account**.
3. Select **Exchange and Office 365** for push email, or **Other** if you would
   rather your device check on a schedule.
4. Enter your full email address, then select **Next**.
5. Enter your mailbox password, then select **Next**.
6. Accept the security prompt if your device shows one, then select **Done**.

Your messages begin downloading.

  Exchange delivers messages the moment they arrive. Choosing **Other** sets up
  IMAP instead, which checks on a schedule and uses less battery.
</Callout>

## Check it worked [#check-it-worked]

Send yourself a message from [webmail](https://webmail.webgee.com). On Exchange
it should appear within a few seconds; on IMAP, at the next scheduled check.

## If the account will not add [#if-the-account-will-not-add]

Android reports most failures as a generic "couldn't open connection". In
practice it is almost always one of:

* **The password is wrong.** Confirm it by signing in to
  [webmail](https://webmail.webgee.com).
* **The address is mistyped.** It must be the full address, not just the part
  before the `@`.
* **Server details were entered by hand and are wrong.** Check them against
  [Email server settings](/en/email/manual-configuration).
