Conquering the Inbox: How to Set Up Your Walmart Email on Your Phone (Without Pulling Your Hair Out)
Let's face it, folks, setting up a new email account can feel like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. But fear not, weary warriors of the digital age! Today, we're here to guide you through the glorious (and hopefully not too hair-pulling) journey of setting up your Walmart email on your phone.
How To Set Up Walmart Email On Phone |
Step 1: Arm Yourself with the Essentials
Before we embark on this noble quest, make sure you have your trusty phone (duh!), a stable internet connection (because nobody likes buffering dragons!), and your Walmart account login credentials (email address and password) at the ready. Consider them your digital sword and shield!
Step 2: Choosing Your Weapon (Email App, That Is)
Most phones come pre-loaded with an email app, like Gmail or Outlook. These work perfectly well with your Walmart email, so feel free to use whichever one tickles your fancy. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also download a different email app from the app store. Just remember, with great email app power comes great responsibility (to choose wisely, that is).

Step 3: The Moment of Truth: Adding Your Email
Now, here comes the exciting part! Open your chosen email app and navigate to the settings section. Look for something that says "Add account" or "Accounts". This is where the magic happens.
Here's the important bit: When it asks for the email provider, don't choose "Gmail" or "Outlook" even though you might be using their app. Instead, select "Other" and enter "IMAP" as the account type.

Here's the not-so-important-but-interesting-to-know bit: IMAP stands for "Internet Message Access Protocol." Basically, it's a fancy way of saying your phone will download and display your emails, but they'll still be stored securely on Walmart's servers.
Step 4: Filling Up the Armory (Account Details)
Now, the app will ask you to fill in some blanks. Here's what to enter:
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.![]()
- Incoming server:
imap.email.walmart.com
- Port number:
993
(use this unless you're told otherwise by Walmart) - Username: Your full Walmart email address (including the "@walmart.com" part)
- Password: Your Walmart account password
Remember: Treat your password like your toothbrush – never share it with anyone!
