====== Android email setup ======
Follow this guide to set up android's 'email' app to use your physics email account


===== Steps =====
==== Set Up Email ====
  * Enter your email address (yourusername@physics.umn.edu) and password in the boxes provided. Note the password is for your physics account, NOT your x500 account.
  * Click 'Manual Setup'
  * Click "IMAP account"
  * for ''username'' enter your physics username (not email address)
  * for ''password'' enter your physics password
  * for ''IMAP server'' enter ''mail.physics.umn.edu''
  * for ''port'' enter ''993''
  * for ''Security type'' choose ''SSL (Accept all certificates)''
  * for ''IMAP path prefix'' leave blank
  * Click ''Next''

==== Outgoing server settings ====
  * for ''SMTP server'' enter ''mail.physics.umn.edu''
  * for ''Port'' enter ''587''
  * for ''Security type'' enter ''TLS (Accept all certificates)'' (all the way at the bottom)
  * check ''Require sign-in''
  * for ''User name'' enter your physics username (not email address, same as up above)
  * for ''password'' enter your physics password same as above
  * Click ''Next''

==== Account Options ====
  * ''Email check frequency'' can be set to whatever you like
  * ''Notify me when email arrives'' can be set as is your preference
  * Click ''Next''

==== Set Up Email ====
  * for ''Give this account a name'' you can enter an account name used only on your device to show you which account you are interacting with (if you have more than one). I suggest ''Physics'' is a good name.
  * for ''Your name'' enter your full name, as you wish it to show to others you send email to.

You are done!
