Overview
This article provides instructions to set up a cPanel email account on an Android device.
Important Notes:
- In all the steps below, it is assumed that your domain is pointing to our name servers, and that its DNS fully resolves from our servers. If you have recently updated the name servers for your domain, or have recently purchased a hosting from us, it may take a while for DNS (and SSL) to be activated, and this due to DNS propagation (which may take up to 48 hours, it's how the internet works, so you may need to be a little patient)
- If you will not being hosting your domain's DNS using our name servers (i.e: your domain is on Cloudflare, etc), then you will be replacing mail.example.com in the illustrations below, with the hostname of the server on which your account is hosted (hostname can be obtained from the Service Details page on the Dashboard).
Note:
The email account should be already created and setup in cPanel interface. For instructions on how to create an email account on cPanel, visit this link.

- cPanel’s Setup Mail Client interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Email Accounts).
- The Webmail interface.
- The welcome email that your administrator sent you.
