There are three types of mail providers users tend to use on Android. The first is the Samsung Email App, the second is the Gmail application, and the last is the Outlook application. Depending on your preference, please refer to the guides below for setup:

Samsung Email App

1. Open the Samsung Email app and tap Add Account if it's your first time.
   Or, go to Settings in the app > Add Account.
   
   
   
   
2. Enter your King's email address and password when prompted. Tap Sign in.
   
   
   
   
3. If you're prompted to select account type, choose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to sync contacts and calendars.
   
   
4. Tap Yes or Ok to confirm setting and permissions. What you see may vary depending on what kind of account you're setting up.
   
   
   
   
5. If prompted to verify by two-step authentication, please verify by your method of choice. Please wait as syncing email, calendar, contacts, and tasks may take a few minutes
   
   
6. If you see an email that states "Action Required to Sync," open it and tap Use another Mail app instead. If you don't see this message, skip this step.
   
   

Gmail

1. Open the Gmail app.
   Tap the menu icon in the upper left corner > Settings > Add account > Exchange and Microsoft 365.

   Enter your King's password and tap Next.

4. Follow any prompts you may get for security or device permissions, sync settings, and more.
   
   For a Microsoft 365 work or school account, you may also be asked to confirm Remote security administration and approve additional security measures. In this case, choose OK or Activate. 
   
   
   
   
5. Go to the inbox you just set up.
   If you see an email that says "Action Required to Sync Email," open it and tap Use another Mail app instead.
   If you don't see this message and emails are syncing, skip this step.
   
   
6. Pull down the Android notification bar by swiping down from the top of your screen.
