I ran into a couple of roadblocks while I was setting up my email account on my smartphone, but after a little more research from a few different posts I was able to configure my account quickly and easily.

I have my emails push through on the same widget as my Gmail emails. In the drop down menu you go to add account and follow the prompts.

TIP: It is best to NOT do this on WI-FI. My email account would not fully setup until I went through my phones Internet.

Continue to fill out the prompts with the information gathered from WA email.

TIP: In the Incoming Settings the Security is NONE. I left the Port at its default at 143.

Outgoing Settings

Continue to fill prompts with correct information. My setup had it pre-filled with incorrect information, so I had to change everything.

TIP: Change security to NONE, change Port to 25, and the Password is different than the login password. Make sure the outgoing password is correct.

Technology is AMAZING!!
