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".

   3. Tap "Next".
9. Under "Outgoing server settings"
   1. Set "SMTP SERVER" to "zimbra.xmission.com"

   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".
