Email Setup on Kindle Fire; Email Setup on Kindle Fire. Forums Sign In. I set up mykindle fire and it only sends out e-mails when I turn it on. And they have been changing in attempts to make mail a little more secure. SMTP itself remains essentially unverifyable.

Want to read more than just books on your Kindle Fire? You can set up your Office 365 or other Microsoft Exchange-based email on Amazon Kindle Fire 1st generation and 2nd generation devices.

Kindle Fire 2nd generation devices (for example, Kindle Fire HD devices), let you set up an Exchange ActiveSync or POP/IMAP connection to your account. We recommend that you set up an Exchange ActiveSync connection because Exchange ActiveSync lets you synchronize your email, contacts, and calendar information.

Kindle Fire 1st generation devices only let you set up a POP or IMAP connection to your account. POP and IMAP only lets you use basic email features such as the ability to send and receive email.

Find your Exchange server name

If your email program is not able to automatically find your Exchange ActiveSync server name, you may need to look it up.

If you’re connecting to your Office 365 email, use partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name. The Exchange ActiveSync server name partner.outlook.cn can be used if you’re using the latest version of Office 365.

If you’re not using Office 365 or if you aren’t sure if you are using the latest version of Office 365, follow these steps to look up your Exchange ActiveSync server name.
