Welcome to the forum!

How is Palatka these days? I have not been down there in a few years, but I have spent some time there.

It should automatically set it up if you use the automatic settings when adding your account.

Here are the GMail settings for Android for IMAP: https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114408

If you had clicked on the link I posted, it has the server settings in there:

On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
Enter your full Gmail address and password, then select Next.
On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.

And you're done. You can verify your settings from the Inbox view by tapping < Menu > > Account settings.

Incoming settings
IMAP server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL (always)

Outgoing settings
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)

Server names are imap.gmail.com for incoming, for sending it is smtp.gmail.com
