Set up the Gmail app and Android.

Add the mailbox to the Gmail app as an IMAP account, and sync calendar and contacts on Android with DAVx⁵.

Add the mailbox to the Gmail app

  1. Open the Gmail app, tap your profile picture and choose Add another account, then Other.
  2. Enter your full mailbox address and choose Personal (IMAP).
  3. Enter the mailbox password.
  4. For the incoming server, enter the IMAP server name, port and security type shown for your mailbox; the username is the full address.
  5. For the outgoing server, enter the SMTP server name, port and security type, require sign-in, and use the same username and password.
  6. Finish, then send yourself a message to check both directions.

Your server settings are shown in three places: on the page right after the mailbox is set up, under My mailboxes in My account, and in webmail under Settings → Apps & sync. Other Android mail apps ask for the same values: see IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV settings.

This adds your mailbox to the Gmail app; it does not copy anything into a Gmail account. To bring mail over from a Gmail account, see Move your mail in, and take it out. With two-step verification on, use an app password.

Calendar and contacts on Android

Android syncs CalDAV calendars and CardDAV address books through the DAVx⁵ app. In webmail, Settings → Apps & sync shows the CalDAV and CardDAV addresses with a copy button and the steps for Android: add an account in DAVx⁵ with that address as the base URL, your full mailbox address as the username and the mailbox password (or an app password).
