    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. :frown:

    It's saying "SSL connection failed." I'm just checking email through imap.us.army.mil vice sending mail through mailrouter.us.army.mil. I'm pretty sure something's broke and won't be fixed until Monday.
