We recommend to use the Thunderbird app to use Davnode email on Android.

​
Connect Davnode to Android

This guide will help you set up your Davnode email account on your Android phone or tablet using the default Gmail app.

​
Prerequisites

  • Your Davnode email address.
  • Your email address password or app password (recommended).
  • The Gmail app (pre-installed on most Android devices).
We recommend to always use an app password for connecting mail clients.

​
Server Settings Reference

Keep these settings handy. Android often attempts to guess the server name based on your email domain, so you will likely need to edit the “Server” field manually.

Troubleshooting

​
”Couldn’t Open Connection”

If you get a connection error, you may need to manually verify the security settings and ports.
  1. Open Gmail, tap the Menu (≡) icon > Settings.
  2. Tap on your Davnode account.
  3. Scroll down to the Server settings section.

​
Check Incoming Settings

  • Tap Incoming settings.
  • Server: mail.davnode.com
  • Port: 993
  • Security type: SSL/TLS

​
Check Outgoing Settings

  • Tap Outgoing settings.
  • Server: mail.davnode.com
  • Port: 465
