To access your Plusnet email account through the Android Gmail app, you'll need to set up your Plusnet account as an IMAP account on your Android device. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:
Prerequisites:
- Make sure you have the Gmail app installed on your Android device.
- Ensure that your Plusnet email account is set up to use IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocol. You can check your Plusnet account settings to confirm this.
Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top left corner to access the app's settings.
- Tap "Settings" (gear icon) and then select "Add account".
- Choose "Other" as the account type.
- Enter your Plusnet email address and password.
- Tap "Next" and then select "IMAP" as the account type.
- Enter the following IMAP settings:
- IMAP server: imap.plus.net
- Port: 143
- Security type: None (or SSL/TLS if your Plusnet account uses SSL/TLS)
- Tap "Next" and then select "POP" as the account type.
- Enter the following POP settings:
- POP server: pop.plus.net
- Port: 110
- Security type: None (or SSL/TLS if your Plusnet account uses SSL/TLS)
- Tap "Next" and then select "Sync email" to enable email syncing.
- You may be prompted to allow the app to access your account. Tap "Allow" to grant permission.
Tips and Variations:
- If you're using a custom Plusnet email address (e.g., [yourname]@plusnet.co.uk), you may need to use the following IMAP settings:
- IMAP server: imap.plus.com
- Port: 143
- If you're using a Plusnet email address with a custom domain (e.g., [yourname]@yourdomain.com), you may need to use the following IMAP settings:
- IMAP server: imap.yourdomain.com
- Port: 143
- If you encounter issues with IMAP settings, you can try using the Plusnet webmail interface or contact Plusnet support for assistance.
