Read along and follow our instructions to get started with the highly secure mail.com app on all your Android devices.

First steps in using the mail.com mobile app

For real-time and easy access to your mail.com account, download and install the mail.com app on your Android device by following the three steps below
  1. Go to the Play Store and search for “mail.com”
  2. Download and open the Mail App
  3. Enter your mail.com email address and password
And as easy as that you can now read, send and receive emails wherever you are – all without compromising the security of your data.

After you have logged in to the Android app for the first time, you will immediately have the option of syncing your mail.com Contacts and Organizer so your address book and appointments will be up to date. If you’d like to do that now, tap Synchronize when prompted and follow the instructions each time. If you’d rather handle it some other time, no worries – just tap Activate Later. You can tap the gear wheel symbol to go to your account settings and activate synchronization whenever you like.

Access your email cloud

What’s more, you now have easy access to your mail.com Cloud directly from the mail.com Mail App. Just go to the Cloud tab in the lower right of your screen.
