Gmail with iPhone

Posted on by

To configure IMAP for your iPhone, just watch video config or follow these steps:

  1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Mail.
  4. Tap Add Account.
  5. Tap Other. (Note: If you’re running software update 1.1.3, tapping the ‘Gmail’ icon will automatically configure IMAP. However, archiving and deleting messages will work differently. If you want your Gmail IMAP actions to operate as designed, please continue on to Step 6. Google Apps users, please also continue to Step 6).

  6. Make sure that:
    • The IMAP tab is highlighted
    • Host Name is imap.gmail.com
    • User Name is your full Gmail address, including ‘@gmail.com.’ Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format ‘username@your_domain.com’

    • For Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), Host Name is smtp.gmail.com

  7. Tap Save.
  8. Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client’s settings as needed.

And you’re done. You can verify your Advanced settings by tapping Settings > [your Gmail IMAP Account] > Advanced.
