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.

Thunderbird Tip: Import and Export Mail Filters

Posted on by

It can be quite a task to run Thunderbird on more than one computer and even running Thunderbird on one computer with more than one mail account can cause some problems. Filters are one of the problems that you can run into. Mail filters can be global filters that filter all incoming mails or mail account filters which only filter mails that are send to the account in question.

The Thunderbird add-on Thunderbird Message Filter Import/Export makes it easy to export mail filters from one account or computer and import those mail filters to another computer or mail account easily. This ensures that all mail accounts work with the same filters which gets rid of the learning process.

The add-on adds an Export Filters button to the Tools > Message Filters window. Just select the account that you want to export filters from and click on the Export Filters button. Filters are imported in the Tools > Import filters menu.
