    EAS is unable to support Calendar Delegation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This article provides instructions to sync email, calendar, and contacts on an Android\u2122 device using EAS.<\/p>\n

    We only<\/strong> recommend using EAS to sync accounts on your Android device if you want to sync an account\u2019s calendars, contacts, and<\/strong> email. If you only want to sync an account\u2019s email, we recommend still using IMAP.<\/p>\n

    If you want to sync your accounts on iOS\u00ae, read our calendars and contacts and email documentation.<\/p>\n

    Global address lists<\/h3>\n

    EAS also allows you to access Global Address Lists (GAL). A GAL is a list of users that you can access from email and calendar clients. If you want to send an email to someone on that GAL, as you start typing their name or email, the GAL will suggest email addresses. With this you do not have to manually type the whole email address out. What shows in your GAL will depend on what type of account you sync on your device:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      System default email account \u2014 If you set up a system default email account on your device using EAS, GAL will list all users for all<\/strong> domains and subdomains on that cPanel account. For example, say your cPanel account has the domains example.com<\/code> and example.net<\/code> as well as a subdomain named subdomain.example.com<\/code>. You will see users from all three domains and subdomains.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Any other email account \u2014 If you set up an email account that is not<\/strong> a system default email account on your device using EAS, GAL will list the other users of that domain. You will not see users on other domains or subdomains. For example, if you set up user@example.com<\/code> on your device, you will see all other users on example.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Set up your device<\/h2>\n

      Note:<\/div>\n
      \n

      We created this guide using Android version 11 on a Google Pixel\u2122 4a and Android version 8 on a Samsung Galaxy\u2122 S7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab A. The process will slightly differ depending on what version of Android and what device you are using.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Navigate to the Settings<\/em> menu.
        \n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        In the Settings<\/em> menu, tap on Accounts<\/em>. The Accounts<\/em> interface will appear.
        \n<\/p>\n

        \n
        Note:<\/div>\n
        \n

        On some devices and versions of Android, you will find Accounts<\/em> within another menu such as Cloud and Accounts<\/em> or Accounts and backup<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        For example:
        \n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        Tap on Add Account<\/em>. The Add an account<\/em> interface will appear.
        \n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        In the Add an account<\/em> interface, tap Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync<\/em>.
        \n<\/p>\n

        \n
        Warning:<\/div>\n
        \n

        If you do not<\/strong> see Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync<\/em> and only<\/strong> Exchange<\/em>, then tap Exchange<\/em>. However, if you see both, make sure you tap Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

      5. \n

        In the Email<\/em> text box, enter your full email address. Then, tap Set up manually<\/em>.
        \n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      6. \n

        Enter your password in the Password<\/em> text box. Then, enter your server settings.<\/p>\n

        \n
        Note:<\/div>\n
        \n

        If your hosting provider has enabled the Calendar and Contacts Server<\/em> and Z-Push – ActiveSync Support<\/em> plugins, you can find your account\u2019s settings in the ActiveSync SSL\/TLS Settings (for Android)<\/em> box. You can find this box in the following locations:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • cPanel\u2019s Set Up Mail Client<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Email Accounts<\/em>).<\/li>\n
        • cPanel\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Calendars and Contacts<\/em>).<\/li>\n
        • Webmail\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface (Webmail >> Configure Calendars and Contacts<\/em>).<\/li>\n
        • The welcome email that your administrator sent you.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \n
          Note:<\/div>\n
          \n
            \n
          • If you are setting up a system default email account, enter the cPanel account\u2019s name in the Domain\/username<\/em> field.<\/li>\n
          • If your device does<\/strong> have the Port<\/em> text box, enter the port from your email account\u2019s settings.<\/li>\n
          • If your device does not<\/strong> have the Port<\/em> text box, enter the port with the domain in the Exchange server<\/em> text box. For example: example.com:2091<\/code>.
            \n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n

            Tap Next<\/em>. Your mail client should now be ready.
            \n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n

            Here are some solutions to common issues you may encounter with using EAS to sync your device.<\/p>\n

            The port field contents changed back from 2091 to 443<\/h3>\n

            Sometimes the Android operating system resets the port field back to the default: 443. This occurs either when an error occurs or sometimes when you make edits in the settings. To counter this, we recommend setting the port last.<\/p>\n

            We also recommend rechecking the port if you encounter a failure.<\/p>\n
