WEB.DE Mail – set up push

Enable push and prevent Android from stopping the WEB.DE Mail app.

← Back to push notifications overview

Enable push in the WEB.DE Mail app for instant CampSecure alarm alerts.

Enable push notifications

  1. Open the WEB.DE Mail app.
  2. Tap ☰ top left.
  3. Open Settings.
  4. Select your email account.
  5. Enable push notifications and notification for new emails.

Check Android notifications

Open:

Settings → Apps → WEB.DE Mail → Notifications

Make sure notifications are allowed.

Disable battery optimisation

Open:

Settings → Apps → WEB.DE Mail → Battery

Choose Unrestricted or Don’t optimise.

This stops Android from delaying new email alerts.

Test: verify push works

Always test after setup—before you rely on the alarm.

  1. On the alarm phone, open CampSecure Settings → Email notifications.
  2. Tap “Send test email”.
  3. Check your receiving smartphone (with the WEB.DE Mail app).

Success: A push notification appears within a few seconds—not only when you open the mail app.

Note: This is not a test alarm. No sensors are triggered. The test email checks the same path as a real alarm: CampSecure sends → email arrives → push on your phone.

Why email? CampSecure deliberately uses email—no extra servers, no cloud account required. A normal email is enough—and usually reaches your phone within seconds when push is set up correctly.
