Configuring Gmail on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch

Written By Ankit Sharma on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 | 3:12 PM

As of January 30, 2013 Google will no longer allow configure new Gmail email accounts on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch using Google Sync (ActiveSync implementation fantastic Microsoft protocol). While it is true that existing accounts can continue to use the next time you want to add a new Gmail account to your phone, you have to use Google IMAP service, which works well with Apple's Mail application and allows unified inbox with no other Gmail accounts. Another option is to use the separate Gmail application, available on the App Store, but, although the application is great, the integration will not be the same.



The Gmail Google application is excellent, supporting both push mail settings like multiple accounts, and taking all the unique features of Gmail, such as labels or stars. Even you can have easy access to other options such as Out of Office. If you only intend to use Gmail for email, is definitely the best option you can find. If you use several email providers and do not mind having access to them through different applications, it is also a great option. Unfortunately, as you know, can not be set as third-party applications by default in iOS, so probably you'll end up setting the account in Apple Mail application, if only for convenience.

Still, we are going to take steps to set up new accounts in Gmail Google application:


1.Download the Gmail app from the App Store. 

2.Two. Click "Open" when the download is complete. If you went back to the home screen, tap the Gmail icon.

3.Three. Enter your email address and password.

4.Click "Sign In".

 How to configure Gmail in Apple Mail application

Gmail is one of the major e-mail services that are configured on the iOS Mail application . IMAP is used to receive mail, but due to the lack of standard configuration of Google and the lack of specific support from Apple for that non-standard configuration, you will not get emails push and not have access to the stars and etiqueas , among other features of Gmail . Unfortunately , not a self- synchronization of contacts is included , so you need to configure this aspect separately.However, having Gmail included in the unified inbox will be very convenient if you use other email other than Gmail , such as iCloud or some work .

Let's see how to configure Gmail account in Apple Mail :


1. Launch the "Settings" app on your home screen.


2. Tap Mail, Contacts , Calendar.


3 . Click on " Add Account " . 


4 Tap Gmail .

5. Enter your name, email address of Gmail , password , and a descriptive name (such as Gmail , Personal or any other account remember that you are setting ) .


6. Select which services you want to sync (Mail, Calendar , Notes).


7. Click " Save" .
