Android Setup

Use this page to set up COG Mail on Android phones and tablets. Android devices vary by manufacturer, so the exact menu names may be slightly different.

Recommended Android Setup

For most Android users, start by adding COG Mail to the Gmail app, Samsung Email, or another Android mail app as an IMAP account. This handles email well and keeps the setup familiar.

For calendar and contacts, use COG Mail Workspace or a CalDAV/CardDAV-capable sync app. COG Technology LLC is also working on COG Mail Connect, an Android setup app intended to make account testing, settings, Workspace access, and future calendar/contact automation easier.

Automated Android Setup Coming Soon

COG Technology LLC is working on a COG Mail Android setup app to make this process easier. The goal is to let Android users sign in once, verify their COG Mail account, and receive guided setup for mail, calendar, and contacts.

The first version will help test the account, copy the correct settings, open COG Mail Workspace, and guide calendar/contact setup. A later version may add deeper Android calendar and contacts sync automation.

Until that app is ready, use the instructions below.

Gmail App Setup

Open the Gmail app.
Tap your profile picture or menu.
Choose Add another account.
Choose Other.
Enter your full COG Mail email address.
Choose Personal (IMAP) if prompted.
Enter your mailbox password.
Use the manual settings below if Gmail does not auto-fill them.

Samsung Email Setup

Open the Samsung Email app.
Choose Add account.
Choose Other.
Enter your full COG Mail email address and password.
Choose Manual setup if needed.

Outlook App Setup

Open Outlook for Android.

Important Android Note

Android mail apps usually support COG Mail through IMAP and SMTP. Calendar and contacts may not automatically appear in every Android mail app. For calendar and contacts, use COG Mail Workspace or apps that support CalDAV and CardDAV.
