Introduction

These setup instructions apply to Android versions 5.0 through 5.1.1 using the Gmail app from Google. Google recently changed the default app away from the standard "Email" app on Android 4.4.4 and earlier with their Gmail app. Despite the name, the Gmail app allows you to configure additional personal IMAP and POP3 accounts with the Gmail account.

3. Under "Settings", tap "Add account".

6. Tap "Personal (IMAP)" for retrieving your email. Tap "Next".
7. Provide your XMission account password. Tap "Next".
8. Under "Incoming server settings":
   1. Set "SERVER" as "zimbra.xmission.com"
   2. Set "SECURITY TYPE" as "SSL/TLS". The "PORT" should automatically change to "993".
   3. Tap "Next".
9. Under "Outgoing server settings"
   1. Set "SMTP SERVER" to "zimbra.xmission.com"
   2. Set "SECURITY TYPE" to "SSL/TLS". The "PORT" should automatically change to "465".
   3. Set "USERNAME" to just your XMission username with the "@xmission.com" address appended.
   4. Tap "Next".
10. Verify "Account options" for sync frequency, notifications, and attachments. Tap "Next".
11. Give the "Account name (optional)" something meaningful, like "XMission". Also, provide your name as you want it displayed to recipients. Tap "Next".
