AKO (army email) help!

[Syoo89]

I'm having trouble setting up my AKO account with my droid 4. I googled how to set up an AKO with a Droid but most of them are for Droid X or other phones. I tried following their directions but there are some difference such as the SSL. Can anyone give me a "for dummies" version on how to set up an AKO with this phone? I would really appreciate it!

I solved my own problems bleh. Just in case anyone stumbles upon this, here is what I did. This also contains information from other sources but i will try to dumb it down.

Uncheck the automatically configure account.
Type in your email address and password.
For the incoming setting, click the IMAP, not the POP.
Type in the information using below.
Also check the button that says use secure connection.

username: first.last
password: your ako password
imap server: imap.us.army.mil
authenication: plain
port: 993

Go to the out going setting and use the following info
Once again, check the button that says use the secure connection. ( I think this is the SSL)

smpt server: mailrouter.us.army.mil
security: SSL (always)
port: 445
authentication: plan
username first name. last name @us.army.mil
password: your AKO password

If you have any problems, PM me and ill try to help you out.
