Lycos mail android developer

Lycos Mail is a web-based email service that was launched in the late 1990s. While it's not as popular as it once was, it still has a dedicated user base. As an Android developer, you might be interested in knowing how to access Lycos Mail on your Android device. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Using the Lycos Mail Web App

  1. Open a web browser on your Android device (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Samsung Internet).
  2. Go to the Lycos Mail website (www.lycos.com/mail).
  3. Tap the "Sign in" button at the top right corner of the page.
  4. Enter your Lycos Mail username and password.
  5. You will be redirected to your Lycos Mail inbox, where you can access your emails, compose new messages, and manage your account settings.

Method 2: Using the Lycos Mail Android App

Unfortunately, Lycos Mail does not have a dedicated Android app. However, you can use a third-party email client app that supports IMAP or POP3 protocols to access your Lycos Mail account.

Here's how to set up Lycos Mail on a third-party email client app:

  1. Download and install an email client app that supports IMAP or POP3 protocols, such as K-9 Mail, Microsoft Outlook, or Nine.
  2. Open the email client app and create a new account.
  3. Enter your Lycos Mail username and password.
  4. Select the IMAP or POP3 protocol and enter the following settings:
    • IMAP: imap.lycos.com (port 143) or imap.lycos.com (port 993 with SSL/TLS)
    • POP3: pop.lycos.com (port 110) or pop.lycos.com (port 995 with SSL/TLS)
  5. Save the account settings and you should be able to access your Lycos Mail inbox.

Please note that Lycos Mail's email client settings may change over time, so you may need to update your settings accordingly.
