How to Configure HostGator Email on Android

Besides web hosting, HostGator also offers email services that can go along with your website. You can have your very own email address linked to your personal or business website, making it more integrated and easy to manage. If you have an Android phone, you can configure your HostGator email account to work on your smartphone or tablet so you can keep on receiving those important messages even when you’re away from your PC.

-POP3 will download the emails from the server and store them on your phone.

-IMAP will store the emails on the server and show a cached copy on your phone.

-Exchange is not supported because it requires a Microsoft Exchange server
