Before You Start

• Note Down Server Details:
  • Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): imap.hostinger.com
  • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.hostinger.com

Steps to Add the Email to Gmail App

Step 1: Open the Gmail App

• Tap the Menu (☰) icon in the top left corner.
• Scroll down and select Settings.
• Tap Add account.

Step 2: Select Account Type

• On the “Set up email” screen, select Other (for non-Gmail accounts).

Step 3: Enter Email Address and Password

• Enter the email address you created at your hosting provider (e.g., you@yourdomain.com).
• Tap Manual Setup.
• Select the account type as IMAP or POP3 (IMAP is recommended for syncing across devices).
• Enter your email password.

Step 4: Configure Incoming Mail Server (IMAP)

• For the Incoming Server, enter the following:
  • IMAP Server: imap.hostinger.com (for Hostinger; adjust for your provider).
  • Port: 993
  • Security Type: SSL/TLS

Step 5: Configure Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

  • SMTP Server: smtp.hostinger.com (for Hostinger; adjust for your provider).
  • Port: 587
  • Security Type: STARTTLS
  • Ensure Authentication Required is enabled and enter your email address and password again.

Step 6: Complete the Setup

• After entering the server details, tap Next.
• Gmail will verify the server settings. If everything is correct, the setup will complete successfully.
• You can customize synchronization settings (e.g., how frequently to check for new emails) and notifications.

Step 7: Test the Email
