Setting up Mail on Android Using GoDaddy

The type of email account it is depends on the email plan you are using. IMAP is only available with an Unlimited email plan. All other email accounts would be POP3.


To Set up Email on Your Android-based Device

  1.  Open your device's email application.
  2. If you already have an email account set up, press Menu and tap Accounts. Press Menuagain and tap Add account.
  3. Type your Email address and Password, and click Next.
  4. If you have IMAP, tap IMAP. If you're not sure, tap POP3.
  5. Use these settings for your incoming server, depending on the type of email you have:
    POP3
    UsernameEnter your full email address.
    PasswordEnter your email account password.
    POP3 serverpop.secureserver.net
    Port110
    IMAP
    UsernameEnter your full email address.
    PasswordEnter your email account password.
    IMAP serverimap.secureserver.net
    Port143
  6. Use these settings for your outgoing server:
    SMTP (Outgoing Mail Server)
    SMTP serversmtpout.secureserver.net
    Port80
    Security typeNone
  7. Select Require sign-in and make sure your Username (your full email address) and Password are correct. Tap Next.
  8. Tap Next again. Name your account and enter the name you want to display on outgoing messages.
  9. Tap Done.
That's it. If everything is working OK, you should see some email messages. To make sure you can send messages, go ahead and compose an email and send it to yourself.
If you are having trouble setting up your email, I recommend that you take a look at the following article. It contains several common troubleshooting steps that might resolve the error you are seeing:
