These instructions show you how to configure your email account with ph9 / uporium / Antiques Web Design. To set up non-ph9 / uporium / Antiques Web Design email accounts, contact the company that has provided you with that email account

Please read the following BEFORE proceeding:-

• Please make sure you follow these instructions in every detail otherwise they might not work.
  
  
• All Android devices differ slightly as the manufacturers customise Android for each phone/tablet they make. The instructions and pictures shown below have been created using an original version of Android from Google. Your phone or tablet may be a little bit different so when using the instructions below should things appear a bit different you may need to use a tiny bit of initiative. If you get really stuck then please contact your phone/tablet instruction manual or consult with the company that provided your phone/tablet and show them this guide.
  
  
• We are only an email service provider, and do not provide the email software which runs on the Android software which runs on your device as it is made by Google rather than us, so please note:-
• Contact the company that provided your phone / tablet
  
• If you have problems with it or if it doesn't work correctly please either contact Apple or you may be better contacting our IT Support partners Them Digital who provide computer and IT Support Services. You can contact them on support@themdigital.co.uk or on +44 (0)20 7490 2163. They charge for their services separately.
