To set up K-9 Mail with Runbox, please follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Note that the setup process and dialog boxes on your device may vary slightly from what is shown here, depending on what version of K-9 Mail you are using (these screen shots were made with K-9 Mail 4.803).

1. Get started
When you open K-9 Mail for the first time you will be asked to set up a new account. If you already have accounts set up you will need to tap on the + in the top right to add a new account on the accounts screen.
You will be shown the screen below. Enter your email address and password, then tap on Manual Setup.
2. Choose the account type
You now need to select the account type. We recommend using IMAP as this allows your email clients to synchronise across all your devices and the webmail.
3. Enter the incoming server details
Next enter the incoming server details on this screen. Be careful to enter them accurately and to enter your username in the correct format.
Note on Usernames: You can find your username in the top right of the screen when you log in to the Runbox webmail. Usernames based on your own domain are different to those based on a Runbox domain. You can find our more about usernames on our Usernames and Passwords help page.
When you are done tap Next.
4. Enter outgoing server details
Next enter the outgoing server details on this screen. Be careful to enter them accurately and to enter your username in the correct format.
When you are done tap Next.
5. Account options
You can set the account options as you wish. We find the defaults shown below work fine.
When you are done tap Next.
6. Give your account a name and enter your own name
To set up your device so it looks like the screen above tap on menu item in turn. For each of the folders you will be shown the screen below. If you select the arrow to the right of Inbox you will be shown a list of folders in your account. Select the folder corresponding to the folder you are trying to set up in each case.
Once you have done tap Done and you have completed the set up of Runbox in K-9 Mail.
Note on special folders: We have found that K-9 Mail correctly identifies the special folders, Sent, Trash, Drafts and Archive (if you create an archive folder that is).
