How to setup email on Android using IMAP

You can sync your email to your Android's Mail app by configuring an IMAP account. With an IMAP account, you will create a two-way sync between the email server and the device, where all emails folders are synced. This means that when you log into the web interface, actions you performed within the Mail app on your Android device will automatically appear in the web interface, and vice versa.
