This short tutorial will show you how to configure the Gmail App for use with Lavabit.
To add your Lavabit Account to the Gmail App, first tap the down-arrow next to your username in the side menu
and then tap Add Account
. You will be asked to choose the type of account. Tap Other
.
Enter your Lavabit email address and tap Next
.
Enter your Lavabit password and tap Next
.
On the Incoming Mail Settings
step, enter your Lavabit email address in the Username
field, your Lavabit
password in the Password
field, and choose either the POP or IMAP server to enter in the Server
field.
Tap Next
.
Make sure Require signin
is toggled on and perform the same steps as in Step Four for the outbound mail server.
Finally, enter an account name and in the Your name
field, enter the name you would like to have displayed to your
recipients. You will most likely use your full name but you are free to enter anything you wish such as your company
name or a short description of the account if it serves a special purpose.
Finally, tap Done
. After Gmail syncs with the mail server, you should see a message from the Lavabit Support Team in =
your Inbox. You can also try sending an e-mail to make sure your outgoing mail works as well.
