Setting up your IITG email account on Android

1. Open your Gmail app.
2. Open the left drawer by sliding it.
3. Click on 'Add account'.

4. Select 'Personal (IMAP/POP).


5. Type your webmail id.

6. In the type of account screen, select Personal (POP3).

7. In the next screen type your webmail password.

8. In the incoming sever settings type your username (without @iitg.ernet.in) , password.

9. Set your server address according to the mail server provided to you.
List of server addresses-
  •  Teesta 202.141.80.12
  •  Naambor 202.141.80.9
  •  Disang 202.141.80.10
  • Tamdil 202.141.80.11
  •  Dikrong 202.141.80.13


10. Set the Security type to SSL/TLS (Accept all cerificates).
11. Change the port to 995.

12. Set the outgoing SMTP server address to 202.141.80,23 (it's the CC's address but since outgoing smtp server settings don't seem to work, I had to go with a this to complete the email setup. If anyone gets the Outgoing server settings working, let me know!)
13. Set the security type to 'None'.
14. Set the port to 25.

15.Next setup your sync frequency and notification settings accordingly.
16. Done!! enjoy checking your webmail without having to enter that fricking captcha ever again.

 P.S. This only works on IIT networks (either your own personal Wi-Fi, connectify or IITG wifi/Hostel Wifi, not on cellular data).

  4. while connecting with smtp server it says "cant connect to server( couldn't parse SMTP response code)" any solution?

  5. Another trick to the blocked Outgoing server is to use your GMail outgoing server with IIT incoming server. That way, you can also send mails, but they will go through your GMail account.
