Configure your Waymaker email on your Android phone or tablet using IMAP. For calendar and contacts, see Sync Calendar to Devices and Sync Contacts to Devices — Android needs the DAVx5 app for those.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • Your full email address (e.g. you@yourcompany.com)
  • Your email token

Important: the email token is not your Waymaker password. Use it only for setting up email apps. Find it in Commander → Email → Settings (gear) → Setup tab → Your Credentials → Reveal.

For full server settings, see Manual Settings Reference.

The Gmail app supports IMAP and works well with Waymaker email.

  1. Open the Gmail app
  2. Tap your profile picture (top right)
  3. Tap Add another account
  4. Select Other
  5. Enter your full email address
  6. Tap Next
  7. Select Personal (IMAP)
  8. Enter your email token as the password
  9. Tap Next
  10. Configure incoming server:

  4. Tap Next to finish

For Samsung devices, you can use the built-in Email app.

  1. Open the Email app
  2. Tap Add account, or go to Settings → Add account
  3. Select Other
  4. Enter your email address and tap Manual Setup
  5. Select IMAP account
  6. Enter account details:
    • Email address: Your full email address

    • Password: Your email token

Method 3: Microsoft Outlook App

The Outlook app for Android works well with Waymaker email over IMAP.

  1. Download Microsoft Outlook from Play Store
  2. Open Outlook and tap Add Account
  3. Enter your email address and tap Continue
  4. Select IMAP
  5. Enter your details:
    • Display Name: Your name
    • Description: Waymaker
  6. Configure IMAP settings:
    • IMAP Host Name: imap.waymakerone.com
    • IMAP Username: Your full email address
    • IMAP Password: Your email token
  7. Configure SMTP settings:
    • SMTP Host Name: smtp.waymakerone.com
    • SMTP Username: Your full email address
    • SMTP Password: Your email token
  8. Tap the checkmark to finish

Calendar and contacts on Android

Android doesn't have built-in CalDAV or CardDAV. The DAVx5 app handles both, and it can connect once for everything — calendars, address books, even task lists.

See Sync Calendar to Devices and Sync Contacts to Devices for the DAVx5 setup.

Troubleshooting

"Cannot Connect to Server"

  • Verify you're using your email token, not your Waymaker password
  • Check server names are spelled correctly (imap.waymakerone.com, smtp.waymakerone.com)
  • Confirm you have an internet connection
  • Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data

"Authentication Failed"

  1. In Commander, go to Email → Settings → Setup → Your Credentials
  2. Click Reset Token to generate a new token
  3. Copy the new token
  4. Remove the account from your Android device
  5. Add it again with the new token

"Security Certificate Error"

This shouldn't happen with waymakerone.com servers. If you see it:

  • Double-check the server addresses
  • Make sure you're using waymakerone.com, not another domain
  • Tap Continue if the warning offers — but only after confirming the server name matches

Email not syncing

  • Open the email app and pull down to refresh
  • Check sync settings: Settings → Accounts → your account → Account sync
  • Confirm background data isn't restricted for the app
  • Check battery optimization isn't limiting the app

Sent mail not appearing

  • Verify SMTP settings are correct
  • Check the Sent folder syncs: account settings → Folders to sync
  • Send a test email to yourself

Tips

Notifications

  1. Go to Settings → Apps → your email app → Notifications
  2. Enable notifications and customize the sound

Sync frequency

  1. Open your email app
  2. Go to account settings
  3. Choose sync frequency (Push, every 15 min, etc.)

Add to home screen

Most email apps offer a widget you can drop on your home screen for quick access.
