Your device will now ask you for your email address and password as well as a description for this account. Please type in your email address and password.

Step Six:
Your device will attempt to guess the name of the email server where your email is hosted. Almost certainly it will fail, which is perfectly okay. Once it gives up, it will allow you to type in the rest of the settings it needs.
For Server, enter: mail.rapidnetworks.biz
For Domain, leave it blank
For Username, enter your username, which is the part of your email address before the @ symbol.
Then tap Save.

Step Seven:
Your device should think for a few moments, and then put check marks next to all of the settings on the screen. This indicates that your account has been set up successfully. It only displays those check marks briefly, and then it moves to a new screen, which allows you to choose what types of data you want to sync with your account.
You can choose whatever options you like. When you are done, tap Save.
Your device will tell you - Account Added, and go back to the list of Email accounts in settings.
