Android: Set up email

This article is specific to Business Email. If you have a different type of email, please see Microsoft 365 Android instructions, or Workspace email Android instructions.

You can set up your new Business Email account on your Android's native Mail app.

Note: We've used a Samsung Galaxy 5, for the instructions below. The steps to set up email on your Android device might be a little different depending on your phone make/model, and your network provider. All the settings instructions are correct.
