Setting up Samsung Email

The instructions and screenshots in this setup guide are for Samsung Email, which is the native email client for Samsung devices.

You can easily add your Fastmail account to Samsung Email using the setup guide in the Settings → Import & Setup screen. The general setup instructions are below.

Samsung Email needs its own app password to access your information. If you use your normal password or your Fastmail two step verification password in Samsung Email, syncing won't work and you will see a password error.

1. Open the Samsung Email app.

   • If you don't already have an account set up, the Set up Email screen appears. Tap Other.

   

   • Otherwise, open the app's menu, tap on the icon and then tap Add Account.

2. Fill in your email address and app password.

   • Email address: Your full Fastmail username, including the domain.
   • Password: Your Samsung Mail app password. (What is an app password?)

   Tap Manual setup.

   

3. On the Select account type pop-up at the bottom of the screen, tap IMAP account.

   

4. On the Server settings screen, enter the account details. You may need to scroll down.

   • Email address: Your full Fastmail email address, including the domain.
   • Username: Your full Fastmail account name in username@domain.tld format.
   • Password: Your Samsung Mail app password. (What is an app password?)
