On a Samsung phone, the Email app that comes with the device is configured like any other IMAP client. Here are the values to enter.
- Open the Email app.
- If this is your first account, the setup wizard starts automatically. Otherwise: Menu → Settings → Add account.
- Enter your full email address and your password, then tap Manual setup.
- Select IMAP account.
- Complete the two settings blocks:
| Setting |
Incoming server |
Outgoing server |
| Server |
mail01.swisscenter.com |
mail01.swisscenter.com |
| Port |
993 |
465 |
| Security type |
SSL/TLS |
SSL/TLS |
| Username |
Your full email address |
Your full email address |
| Authentication required |

Enabled |
Tap Connect, then choose the synchronization frequency.
Do not choose "accept all certificates". Some versions of the Samsung app offer this variant of the security type: it does establish an encrypted connection, but without verifying who it is talking to — which negates most of the protection. Select SSL/TLS only. If the connection fails with this setting, there is a real issue to resolve: first check the phone's date and time.
If port 465 is refused — this can happen on some mobile networks or public Wi-Fi — use port 587 with the security type STARTTLS.
