How To Use Gmail On Your Iphone

By: 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.

Google has just recently announced that you are able to add a protocol to your iPhone strictly for Gmail accounts. This IMAP application allows Gmail account holders to check their e-mail on any offline e-mail readers, which is perfect for individuals who have an iPhone, and even for those that don't. It is extremely simple to install and run the IMAP application on your iPhone, thus allowing you to seamlessly integrate your iPhone to your Gmail account. The first step to beginning this process is to go to your Gmail account and enable IMAP. You can do this by logging into your Gmail account and then going to Settings. After that click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP, then click "Enable IMAP."

The next thing to do is to configure your iPhone to connect to your Gmail account. To do this tap on Settings and then on Mail. Once you are there you should click on Add Account. Do not select the Gmail option as this has not yet been updated to work with IMAP. Instead choose Other. You will need to provide your name, your host name which for Gmail will be imap.gmail.com and your email address which should include the @gmail.com after your username.

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 access your email when on the move is becoming increasing important in today's fast paced world. Communication is very important and having the ability to access your emails wherever you are from your iPhone means that you no longer have to be tied to a desktop computer to keep on top of things. Whether you are a business professional or just somebody that uses email regularly you will no doubt benefit from having instant access to your emails no matter where you might be.
