How to Connect IMAP Email in Android Phone?

 

IMAP emails are accessible anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection and access to your webmail server. It allows you to have a view of your messages whether you are focused on a meeting on your computer, or if you are simply having a quick cup of coffee and on your mobile.

 

Since IMAP emails are stored on a single server only, one of the downsides is the limited storage that your email host provides.If you would like having a POP set up instead, we can show you how to do that here.
