# Connect your device

The connect your device wizard helps you get your email on any device or any client. You can connect your Windows PC, Android phone or tablet, MacOS, iPhone or iPad to receive your email. You can use Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or any other client to get your email. Just follow the step-by-step instructions.

Click on the "gear icon" in the top right corner and select "Connect your device" from the dropdown menu. Now select which device you'd like to configure. Then select which application you want to use on your device. For some devices and applications, you'll just need to scan a QR code with your phone's camera. For others you'll be provided with the download configuration which will automatically setup your device. For most Android applications you'll have to manually configure but your server settings are included in the last step.

Tip: You can use the "Connect your device" tour to connect as many devices as you like. Just start the tour by clicking on the "gear icon" again.
