Set up GMX email account on Android

In order to set up your GMX email account on Android, you can configure the standard email client of your mobile phone with the corresponding data. GMX also has an in-house solution with which you can check and send your emails on the go.

The simplest solution: The GMX email app for Android phones

• If you only use your GMX email account for e-mail traffic, you are best advised with the official GMX email app. Here the setup is child's play:
• All important information can be found in the test on our app portal.
• Simply download the free email client from the Google Play Store and follow the instructions of the app.

Set up GMX email manually

The procedure for setting up an email account varies depending on the Android app used. Using the example of the normal Android email app, "Kaiten Email" and the standard email app on HTC mobile phones, we show you where to set up your GMX email account:

• Standard email app: Open the app and you will be asked for your GMX address. Enter this and select "Manual setup" at the bottom left. Then click on "Personnel (POP3)".
• In the main menu of "Kaiten Email" click on the big plus symbol in the top right corner. Enter your normal GMX email address and the associated password as the email address and password. Then select "Manual setup" and click on "POP3 account".
• With the HTC Mail app, you will be asked for the mail service provider when you start. Select "Other (POP3 / IMAP)" and then enter your GMX data as email address and password. Then control "Manual setup" and set "POP3" as the protocol.

POP3 data for the GMX email account

Now you will be asked for the data for the incoming and outgoing server. Depending on the Android app, these can be called slightly different:

• Enter your entire GMX e-mail address as the "user name" and your normal password for the GMX login as the "password" or "password".
• We have summarized all other POP settings for your GMX email account in this practical tip.
• When making the settings for the outgoing server, make sure that the "Login required" checkbox and enter the user name and password.

Note: If you are a GMX ProMail or GMX TopMail customer, you can also access your emails via IMAP.
