# Setting up an e-mail in Android

Following settings are compatible with you email account:

- Encrypted connection: **SSL**, **SSL/TLS** or **STARTTLS**
- Incoming mail server i.e **IMAP** server: **imap.zone.lv** port **993**
- Incoming mail server i.e **POP3** server: **pop3.zone.lv** port **995**
- Outgoing mail server i.e **SMTP** server: **smtp.zone.lv** port **465 SSL/TLS** or **587 STARTTLS**

Outgoing mail server requires authentication (username is email address, password is general or [device specific](https://www.zone.lv/help/en/kb/mailbox-application-passwords/)).

1\. On your phone, open **Gmail** app and tap `Add an email address`.

In case you already have a connected account, then upon opening the app tap **icon on the top right** and then select `Add another account`

2\. Next tap `Other`
