Configuring Gmail IMAP on your iPhone

[Rhino Chaser]

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

1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Mail.
4. Tap Add Account.
5. Tap Other. (Note: don't tap Gmail; if you do, you'll set up POP rather than IMAP. We are aware of this issue and are currently working to make setting up Gmail more intuitive for the iPhone.)



6. Make sure that:
o The IMAP tab is highlighted
o Host Name is imap.gmail.com
o User Name is your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com'



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



7. Tap Save.
And you're done. You can verify your Advanced settings by tapping Settings > [your Gmail IMAP Account] > Advanced.
Incoming Settings
Use SSL: ON
Authentication: password
Server Port: 993
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: ON
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 587
Now that your account is set up, learn how actions in your client sync with Gmail.

the IMAP switch has been flipped on only one of my Gmail accounts so far, but it works flawlessly.

Thank you Gmail!

Yeah, I was surprised by the number of folder options. It worked very smoothly on my WIFI network. I haven't really tested in out on Edge yet.
