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.
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.
Open the Settings Application/Menu on your phone.
From this Settings section scroll down the page and select Passwords, passkeys and accounts.
Some versions of Android will simply have an Accounts option.
Select Add Account then Personal (IMAP) or Personal (POP), depending on the type of e-mail account you have.
Enter your full Freeola Email Address in the relevant field, then select Manual Setup.
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 (-).
In the example used in this guide we are using the server freeola-com.freeolamail.net as our email address is using the freeola.com domain.
Enable Require sign-in and re-enter your e-mail address Username and Password if required.
The SMTP Server should be set to smtp.freeolamail.net.
Set Account Options to your personal preferences. While these settings will not prevent your account from working, some of these may impact data usage and battery life of your device.
Select Next to continue.
Now set your Account Name to something descriptive so you can identify the account at a later date and set Your Name to whatever you would like to appear in the From field when people receive your messages.
Select Next.
To access your Freeola e-mail address simply select the Gmail App.
If you have multiple accounts set up within this program you can switch between them by selecting the coloured circle on the right in the Search Mail box. The colour and Initial within will differ based on how your Google account is set up.
From the provided drop-down select your Freeola account (this should display using the Account Name information provided earlier) to view, send and receive mail from it.
