Additionally, you may want to consult your Namesonic welcome email for our specific Namesonic email server value ( avoids ssl warning messages )

    3. Incoming settings

      There are several fields 

      Protocol  : TAP the bar and select IMAP



      With IMAP selected as the protocol

      Now enter the IMAP server value as :  mail.yourdomain.com

      Email clients (Android Mail) can present "warning /alerts" when connecting to the server via SSL and there is no matching SSL certificate under <yourdomain.com> found.  This is normal, simply accept the warning to create the SSL connection. To avoid these alerts, use the Incoming mail server value provided in your Namesonic "welcome" email as your IMAP server.
