How to Set Up and Manage Email Accounts on Samsung Devices

Setting up email accounts on a mobile device is crucial for accessing and managing emails on the go. Fortunately, Samsung makes it simple with the Samsung Email app. Whether you have a custom email address or a Gmail account, this guide will walk you through the steps to add and remove email accounts on your Samsung device.

1. Find Your Email Details

Before setting up your email account, gather the necessary details from your email server host, such as the incoming server (IMAP) and outgoing server (SMTP) settings. Make note of the hostname, security type, and SSL port for manual setup.

2. Add an Email Account to Samsung Email

If you’re using a Samsung mobile device, the Samsung Email app is a native email client that supports both automatic and manual account setup. While the automatic setup works for popular email providers, the manual method is suitable for custom email addresses. Follow these steps:

Open the Samsung Email app on your device.
Select ‘Other’ when the ‘Set up Email’ screen appears.
Enter your email address and password, then tap ‘Manual setup’ or ‘Sign in’.
Choose the ‘IMAP account’ option to access mail content on multiple devices.
Match the configuration details with the information you gathered earlier.
Leave the ‘IMAP path prefix’ blank and ensure ‘Require authentication to send emails’ is ticked.
Samsung Email will start synchronizing your mail account.

3. Remove an Email Account From Your Device

If you want to remove an email account from your Samsung device, follow these simple steps:

Open the Samsung Email app.
Tap the three lines menu icon on the top left of the Inbox.
Select the gear icon above the email address.
Choose the account name under the Accounts section.
Click on the ‘Remove’ button at the top right corner to finalize the removal.

Adding Your Gmail to Samsung

If you want to add your Gmail account to the Samsung Email app without installing the Gmail app, follow these steps:

Go to the Settings app on your Samsung device.
Tap ‘Accounts and backup’ and select ‘Manage accounts’.
Tap ‘Add account’ and choose ‘Personal (IMAP)’.
Enter your Gmail username, password, and server details for both incoming and outgoing server settings.

What Does ‘Samsung Email Was Granted Access to Your Google Account’ Mean?

When you use the Gmail account in the Samsung Email app, Samsung needs to register your information for authentication. You will receive a notification from Google stating that Samsung Email was granted access to your Google account. If you grant access, you can use the app to send and receive emails. If you choose to revoke access, remove Samsung Email from ‘Apps with access to your account’.

Conclusion

Setting up and managing email accounts on Samsung devices is a breeze with the Samsung Email app. Whether you have a custom email address or a Gmail account, this guide has provided you with the necessary steps to add and remove email accounts. Remember to gather all the required details from your email provider before setting up your account. If you encounter any issues, double-check the entered information, reset your password if necessary, or reach out to customer support. Enjoy accessing your emails on the go with your Samsung device!
