Once the E-mail Migration of 2018 is complete, customers with an e-mail address that ends with @widomaker.com (or tni.net) will need to update the settings in their e-mail software. This article contains instructions for customers using Android Oreo (8.0 – 8.1) with the default Google mobile e-mail app, on their Android smartphone, or tablet.

  1. Open the Google e-mail app on your Android device.
  2. Select or tap the ≡ options button (triple bar) in the top-left corner of the main e-mail screen.
    Android-8-Menu
  3. Tap Settings located toward the bottom of the displayed menu (you might have to scroll down to find it).
  4. Tap your Widomaker e-mail account, on the Settings screen.

  6. Tap on Incoming settings.
  7. Edit the “Username” field. Previously, it only contained your username. Make sure that it contains your full e-mail address, instead of just the username, by adding “@widomaker.com” (without quote marks).
  8. Make sure that the other settings match what is highlighted with green rectangles, in the image, below.
    • Server: mail.widomaker.com
    • Port: 993
    • Security type: SSL/TLS
