Most Android devices come with an email app pre-installed. For many email providers – such as Outlook, Yahoo Mail or GMX – these applications have already saved the required server data, so only the user name and password are required for configuration.

In this guide we only show screenshots of setting up the Gmail app. Although other email apps come with a different user interface, the setup should be similar.

In further tips for beginners about Android, we also explain how to find, install and uninstall apps or how to accept, reject, hold and unmute calls.
