# Mail Configuration Android/iOS – EN

Here you will find the instructions for the basic settings of most email clients for your mobile devices: 

- Open your email client and then click on "**START NOW**", "**NEW**" or "**Add Account**". If you have already set up an account on another mail client, most clients will suggest this to you.
- Depending on the mail client, select "**Login with a different account**" - "**Manual**" or "**Other**".
- Complete the fields as follows:
- Then click on the tick or "**DONE**" to confirm the registration.

Please note that the port numbers must be specified differently for the different email clients.

Mostly as a separate field or at incoming/outgoing server separated by a colon.

If the option "**Require SSL**" or "**Use SSL**" is listed, select this field.

**E-Mail Settings:**

- E-mail address: firstname.lastname@uni-ak.ac.at
- Username: your p-/s- number
- Password: The password of your p-/s- number
- Then select "**Advanced Settings**".

**IMAP incoming mail server:**

- IMAP username: your p-/s- number
- IMAP password: the password of your p-/s- number

**Outgoing SMTP server:**

If you are asked for a username and password again at SMTP or if "**SSL required**" is available, please enter it again.

"**Display names**" and "**Description**" do not have to be filled in.

Then click on the tick or "**DONE**" to confirm the registration.
