Step 6 - Enter your Username, Password, and the incoming mail server settings found here, then select Next.
Note: On rare occasions, due to some network settings on your router/firewall or on an outdated mail client, the SSL settings above don't work. If you continue having problems, try these Non-SSL settings instead.
Step 7 - Enter your Outgoing server settings. Usually the SMTP server port is autoconfigured, but if not use port 465 for SSL (default) or port 587 for non-SSL.
Step 8 - Leave these settings as default and select Next.
Step 9 - Enter in a name for your email account, and select Next.
Step 10 - Close the App completely, then open the default Gmail app and try sending an email from / to your email address (e.g. from john@yourdomain.net.au to john@yourdomain.net.au). If you can receive emails on the phone, your incoming settings are correct. If you can send mail from the phone, the outgoing mail settings are correct as well.
You are also able to add email accounts from within the Gmail app directly, by selecting Add Another Email Address. Otherwise, select the email address to start managing your emails.
