You can connect your Freethought hosted email to your Android by using Outlook app via IMAP so you can access and send emails wherever you are. Using IMAP means that all your devices are in sync, when you read a device on your phone it will be read on your computer and vice versa.


Step 1:
If you haven’t already downloaded & installed Outlook, you can click here to open the Play Store.

Step 2: The first time you open Outlook, you’ll see a screen like the one below. Tap on "Add Account".
