Need to access your UENI business email from your Android phone or tablet? Here's how to add it to the Gmail app.
The Gmail app works as a general email client — you don't need a Google account to receive your UENI mail through it.
Before you start, make sure you have:
Your full UENI email address (e.g. [email protected])
Your mailbox password
Step 1: Open the Gmail app and add an account
Open Gmail on your device.
Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
Tap Add another account.
(On older versions of Gmail you can also reach this via ☰ Menu → Settings → Add account.)
Step 2: Choose "Other"
From the provider list, tap Other. Do not pick Google, Outlook, Yahoo or Exchange — your UENI mail is a standard IMAP account.
Step 3: Enter your email address
Type your full UENI email address (e.g. [email protected]) and tap Next.
Step 4: Choose IMAP
When asked what kind of account this is, choose Personal (IMAP).
We recommend IMAP over POP3 — it keeps your mail in sync across all your devices. If you prefer POP3, the same hostnames apply (see Step 6).
Step 5: Enter your password
Enter your UENI mailbox password and tap Next.
Step 6: Incoming server settings
Fill in (or correct) the following, then tap Next:
Username: your full UENI email address (not just the part before the @)
Password: your UENI mailbox password
Server: mail.uenimail.com
Port: 993 for IMAP (or 995 for POP3)
Security type: SSL/TLS
Step 7: Outgoing server settings
Replace the pre-filled values with:
SMTP server: mail.uenimail.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL/TLS
Require sign-in: On
Username: your full UENI email address
Password: your UENI mailbox password
Tap Next.
Step 8: Account options
Pick how often Gmail should check for new mail (default 15 minutes is fine), and whether to enable notifications and contact sync. Tap Next.
Step 9: Name the account
Enter the name you want recipients to see, and an optional account label. Tap Next. Your UENI inbox will now appear in Gmail — switch to it from the profile picture in the top-right.
Troubleshooting
"Username or password incorrect" — username must be the full email address, not just the prefix before the @.
"Couldn't reach server" on the incoming step — confirm port 993 and SSL/TLS. Switch off any VPN and try again.
Incoming works, sending fails — confirm SMTP is port 465 with SSL/TLS, and that Require sign-in is on with the same email/password as incoming.

Done — your UENI mail is now set up in Gmail!
