How To Use Gmail On Your Iphone
Chris Simpson
If you haven't heard, Gmail is now becoming the number one e-mail client in the world. The reason for this is simple, they provide their account holders with constantly increasing supply of storage space, and the e-mail interface is extremely simple and easy to use. The Google e-mail service is just like the Google search engine, there aren't ads placed everywhere on your page, and you are able to find the information (or e-mails) that you want in a moments notice. Thus, if you are constantly on the go, you want to be able to check your Gmail account wherever you are.
If you have an Apple iPhone, than you are probably wondering how you can integrate your Gmail account within the iPhone to make checking your e-mail as simple as glancing at your phone.
It is possible to access your Gmail account by adding a protocol called IMAP to your iPhone. This application allows you to check your Gmail account using any offline email reader. This makes it perfect for use with the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is log in to your Gmail account and enable IMAP. To do this log in and go to the Settings section. Under there click on the Forwarding link and under POP/IMAP click on the Enable IMAP option.
The next thing you need to do is to get your iPhone and tap on Settings and then tap on Mail. After that click on Add Account and rather than selecting the Gmail option select the Other option. You will need to enter your name, then imap.gmail.com for the host and then your full Gmail address including the @gmail.com at the end.
You will then move to the Outgoing Mail Server, or SMTP. Under the Host Name, you will want to put: smtp.gmail.com then save all of your changes. You have now just set up your IMAP Gmail account, thus allowing you to view all of your Gmail messages, both old and new.
Being able to check your e-mail wherever you are is extremely important in our fast paced society. Whether you are a business professional who needs constant access to their e-mail account, or if you simply want to be able to check your e-mail while taking a break in school, you will be able to do so when you activate your IMAP service on your iPhone. Communication is key in our world, and if you are unable to reply to e-mail messages quickly, than you may suffer the consequences, either professionally or socially. With the iPhone, you are able to stay connected to the world around you, no matter where you are.
