SETTING GMAIL IN iPHONE

How to Setting Gmail in iPhone

In addition to adding Gmail as an IMAP or POP account as described below, you can also add Gmail as an Exchange account. This lets Gmail push new messages to iPhone Mail but also works for one account only and will replace your existing Exchange account.

• Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
• Tap Add Account… under Accounts.
• Choose Google Mail.
• Enter your name under Name.
• Type your full Gmail address under Address.
• Enter your Gmail password under Password.
• Type “Gmail” under Description (or leave it set to the default, your Gmail address).
• Tap Save.
• Now tap Gmail (or whatever you named the account) under Accounts.
• Tap Advanced.
• Select Remove under Deleted Messages.
• Choose Never.
• Press the Home button.

If you have set up your Gmail account to work with other email addresses, you can use these to send from iPhone Mail, too.

Moving messages, you can elegantly mark messages as spam, apply labels and more.

Avoid Getting Copies of Messages You Send from iPhone Mail
