# Setting up an email – Outlook for Android

A guide to setting up email on your Android phone, tablet or other device.
The guide works on devices from different manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, Sony, etc. This guide uses Android version 8.0, called Oreo.

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. Open the Outlook app on your phone and choose **`Get started`**.
