AKO webmail setup on Droid Bionic

[elcapitan]

Each model's email settings look a little different, so I thought I'd post this for Bionic specifically. Also, looking at past threads for other models, settings don't always work the same for everyone, so no guarantees here. BUT... I successfully set up AKO webmail on my Bionic's native email app (not K9 or anything) using the following settings:

Incoming Server-->
(from the dropdown on top): IMAP mail server
Server: imap.us.army.mil
Username: first.last (without "@us.army.mil")
Password: password
Advanced Settings-->
Port: 993
Use secure connection: CHECKED
Use secure password (TLS): Auto
Verify Certificate: UNCHECKED

Outgoing Server-->
SMTP server: mailrouter.us.army.mil
Username: first.last (without "@us.army.mil")
Password: password
Advanced Settings-->
Port: 465
Use secure connection: CHECKED
Use secure password (TLS): Auto
Authentication: Auto
Verify Certificate: UNCHECKED

Hope that helps some people out there. Good luck.

elcapitan,

Thanks for the info man! One minor correction: For Port under the Outgoing settings, it should be set to 465 (not 9465). Other than that, it works like a charm again - was running into problems when I kept @us.army.mil in there.

Ah! Sorry, fat-fingered it. Corrected now in original post to avoid confusion

Does anyone know if the requirement for CAC logon will impact using your phone to read AKO email?

No, it won't. I use a CAC at work to check AKO and my phone to check it at home.

This set up worked perfect for me until my password expired. I updated it with the new one and it shows up with errors. Tried deleting the email and setting up a new one with the updated password and its still coming up with a connection error. Any ideas what could be causing this?

I've been getting connection errors all weekend and my password hasn't changed. I think the AKO server isn't working correctly right now. Should be fixed by tomorrow.

Is yours saying unable to connect to mailrouter.us.army.mil?
