Setting up email to sync with other devices

Emails can be a bit of a nightmare and, depending upon whom you have your email through, the settings often need changing. If you have an email address that is linked to your domain then you may struggle to set your email up on your PC or phone/tablet. Your hosting provider should be able to give you the details but you will have to check port numbers and authentication settings. This can take time to configure and if you make even a small spelling mistake then often the whole account will not work.

Before you start, remember to only set up on one device at a time. Ideally, ask your hosting provider to email you the details you need to you can double check the spellings and possibly even copy and paste.

You may find that if you have problems setting your email on your device then the hosting company will not help you if their account is working. In this case, you would need to get in touch with an IT support company to check it all for you and set it up correctly.

Always ensure that your emails are backed up in case something should happen and you lose them all.
