ADDING THE ACCOUNT - From this point forward it's a series of Q&A's, answer the question on the screens

4. Enter your password for the account, TAP NEXT
5. 'Incoming Server settings' screen, enter 'mail.ephost.com', TAP NEXT
6. 'Outgoing Server settings' screen, enter 'ephost.com', TAP NEXT  NOTE: normally it would be 'mail.ephost.com', try both, if the device truncates it to just 'ephost.com' it should still work. TAP NEXT
7. 'Account Options' Page will give you the following options on how often you wish to sync with the server
   • Notify me when email arrives
   • Sync email from this account
   • Automatically download attachments when connected to Wi-FI (good setting if you have a limited data plan)
8. TAP NEXT
9. The final screen should say "Your account is set up and email is on its way!" TAP NEXT

NOTE: There is no need to set up for SSL/TLS, most Android Devices "ASSUME" you will be connecting through SSL/TLS and use those ports during setup.
