l access to email accounts from mobile devices has become popular to the extent that the figures currently access email services from mobile devices to access outweigh mail accounts from desktops, making mobile in providing care , so a good email client configuration we use in our devices guarantee us the correct receiving and transmitting emails.

Here's how you can manage mail on your mobile Android, once you have created mail account on your Hosting.

 

 

Is using POP or IMAP?

The POP3 protocol is the most easy to use and does not require to be constantly connected to the network (Internet) allowing to store messages on the client (mobile), while the IMAP protocol does on the server.

To read your mail from different computers, have them available from any Internet connection via the browser and even from any device, IMAP is the protocol that you use. You can check messages from your usual email client desktop from a Mail (OSX) or via Webmail client, also, you can do it from a PC, Mac or Mobile smoothly.

If you receive large attachments message, and your account has a very small mailbox and store the messages you're interested only in your computer, POP3 is the protocol used.

Using the POP3 protocol you can read your e being offline because they are stored on your computer or device. With IMAP you can also read them offline but you must enable that option in the mail client, otherwise, you'll need to connect to the Internet.

If multiple users are accessing the same account from different terminals, the ideal is to set the account as IMAP to prevent the mailbox is locked for access by multiple terminals at the same time or that the server Firewall us detect block access the same mailbox with the same credentials from different IPs.

Configure POP3 / IMAP Android

Mobile devices that work with Android include two email clients, one for Gmail and one for other email servers including Microsoft Exchange, IMAP and POP3.

Here we are how to configure the integrated email application to access default IMAP or POP3 servers for incoming mail, and SMTP for outgoing mail server. The IMAP and POP3 configuration is the same.

 

Creation process and account settings:

In the mobile accede to Menu, Settings, Accounts.
Select "Add Account".
On the next screen select "Email".
We introduce the email address and password of the account you are going to configure and click Next. (Mark first the "Show password" to view after inserting and ensure putting her properly).
If we want this account to be the default that will be used in the mobile mark the "Send email from this account by default." Next.
Select the type of account: POP3, IMAP, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync: select POP3 or IMAP, as appropriate.
Introduce configuration incoming mail server: User Name, Password, POP3 server (see below in detail), port, security type, and delete e-mail from the server. If we want to keep a copy in the mail server Hosting leave default "Never", but if we want to download them to your mobile phone and are removed from the server to not occupy space, select "To remove the Inbox".
Then click Next.
The client connects to the server and perform the corresponding check connectivity does not return an error if the configuration up to this point is correct, otherwise it would have to analyze the error returned and verify the data entered so far.
Now we perform the configuration of the outgoing mail server: SMTP server (see below in detail), port, security type, application login, username, password.
Then click Next.
The client connects to the server and perform the corresponding check connectivity does not return an error if the configuration up to this point is correct, otherwise it would have to analyze the error returned and verify the data entered so far.
On the next screen you can configure the synchronization of emails, setting a time query to the server, you enable the "Synchronize Email" box if we keep it in sync (requires Internet connection and consumption data) and if we receive notification emails received in Mobile check the "Notify me when mail arrives" check box.
Next.
Finally, once the Android client has verified all of these settings, it will indicate that the account has been configured and is ready to receive mail.
Establish the name of the email account under which the identify (if you use multiple accounts) and the name that will appear on outgoing messages.
Press "Finish" and we will terminate the account settings on the device.

Sample Data Configuration Incoming Mail Server:

Username: gestion@mi_dominio.com - your entire e-mail for example [email protected]
Password: The mail account configured.
POP3 server: cpXX.dominio.com or mail.dominio.com replacing "dominio.com" with the name of your domain.
Security Type: None
Port: 110
Delete email from server Never remove or Al inbox (as needed).

Sample Data Configuration Outgoing Mail Server:

SMTP server: cpXX.dominio.com or mail.dominio.com replacing "dominio.com" with the name of your domain.
Security Type: None
Port: 587
[X] Request login
Username: gestion@mi_dominio.com - your entire e-mail for example [email protected]
Password: The mail account configured.
Delete email from server Never remove or Al inbox (as needed).

Additional settings:

Now we can select the options Account: frequency of consultation email (15 minutes by default, lower frequencies can cause blockages of the IP on the Firewall Server), Send email from this account by default and notice of entry email. Assign a name to appear in outgoing messages.

Once completed, the Android mail client connects to the account and begin downloading e-mail (if any). While we see the list of messages, we can also change the settings assigned to this account by clicking on the Menu icon - just to the left of the Home icon - and then tapping Settings cuenta.v

 

The available options are:

Account name.
Name.
Frequency control email.
Default account (this account becomes your default account on your Samsung Galaxy).
E-mail notifications.
Select tone.
Vibration.
Incoming mail settings (to modify the configuration of the POP3 or IMAP server).
Outgoing mail settings (to modify the SMTP server).
The icon menu also offers other options, such as updating, compose, folders, accounts and account settings.

If we want to add another email account, we can do it by repeating this process from the first screen.

Note: Remember that if you read the post from your mobile or another mail program desktop and have not selected the option to "Keep copies on the server" these are deleted once downloaded to your email program and not find them later on the server.

In the following video we made the complete configuration of a POP3 account using an Android device using the default mail client.

 

 

Some common mistakes in the use of email:

550 No Such User Here: A common mistake when sending email is the "Error 550 - This user does not exist here." This error occurs when sending e-mail because the username is not found or is not accessible by the server is rejected. There are several reasons why you get an "Error 550 - This user does not exist here."

The mail file permissions are not readable or incorrect.
The email address is misspelled (typical).
MX records are incorrect (pointing to the wrong server).
Email is not properly routed (remote domains / local).
535 incorrect authentication: incorrect attempts to access e-Exim.

550 Invalid email address error: This message is basically divided into two parts. The first part is the error number, and the second is the message. The error number 550 means that this is a permanent error, so the message is sent later have the same effect again. Error numbers 400 are temporary and usually tend to be resolved in a later shipment.

The message itself indicates that the e-mail address to which the message is sent there. Usually, this means that the server has not received the registered email address. This may be a recent change of DNS records or because the email was deleted.

Email Error- Mailbox Quota Exceeded: If an error occurs in the web mail that says "have surpassed email assessed contributions", you can correct this error from cPanel allocating a greater share if you have enough space. This error occurs because you have too much mail in the affected account or the actual size of the affected account is too low. One option is to delete unnecessary emails or attachments to reduce the size of the affected mailbox account.

 

A good configuration of our email client and a policy of responsible use of mail, with a control of stored messages that avoid the problems of quotas in the Hosting will allow us to enjoy the service mail server get better performance.
