Welcome to the Freeola Internet customer support pages. This guide is designed to help with setting up a Freeola email address on the Gmail App on an Android device. For more internet help topics please visit our main Support Page.

Before Continuing

Please visit your MyFreeola account and make a note of the following information before continuing, you'll need to know this for later on in the guide:

1. What protocol your e-mail address is set up to use (IMAP or POP3).

2. What service is assigned to your e-mail address (EmailPro, Free Email or One Address).

3. Your e-mail address password.

You can find this information by clicking Email Settings in the left-hand navigation in MyFreeola, then My Email Addresses. You should then be able to click Settings & Features button next to the relevant e-mail address to view all required email settings.

Adding an e-mail address to the Gmail App

This article was written using the Gmail App version 2025.01.12.715574149 on Android 15. Other versions of the App/OS will use a similar process to that described below, but there may be some wording and visual differences.

  1. Open the Settings Application/Menu on your phone.
    Android Settings Icon

  2. From this Settings section scroll down the page and select Passwords, passkeys and accounts.
    Some versions of Android will simply have an Accounts option.

  5. If prompted, select your e-mail type again.

    • Enter your Freeola email password in the Password field, press Next.

    • Within the Username field enter your full e-mail address, if it does not appear already.

    • Server should be set to yourdomainname.freeolamail.net where 'yourdomainname' is your domain name with any dots (.) replaced with hyphens (-).
