How to set up gmail account on iphone ?

How to set up gmail account on iphone ? - The iPhone is a fantastic phone, but if you're a heavy user of Google services, it can be a little confusing to set up your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts to sync with iOS. The default method's no good. Here's the better way to do it.

You can get all your Google services syncing (complete with push sync—that is, messages push to your phone as soon as you receive them) with iOS by setting up just one account. The trick is to choose Microsoft Exchange at the prompt instead of Gmail. This will give you access not only to your Gmail, but your calendars and contacts, and they will all sync directly to your phone—when you add a contact in Gmail or edit an event on Google Calendar, you'll see it show up on your phone without having to sync anything.

1. Open up the Settings app on your iOS device and go to the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" section. Hit "Add Account".
2. From there, choose Microsoft Exchange as the type of account (again, don't choose Gmail).
3. Type in your Gmail address under Email. Leave the Domain field blank and enter your full Gmail address under Username (including the @gmail.com, @googlemail.com, or other suffix). Type in your password and give it any description you like. Mine's just called "Gmail".
4. Press the Next button at the top of the screen. It should pop up a message saying Unable to Verify Certificate—if it does, just hit cancel. Then, type m.google.com in the new "Server" box that shows up at the top of the screen. Then tap Next.

From there, you should be all set. You can turn on Mail, Contact, and Calendar syncing from the account settings page that shows up. Note that pressing the trash can icon in the Mail app will archive a message, not delete it completely. If you want to delete it, you can hit the folder icon and choose Trash from the menu to move it to the trash.

Gmail priority inbox

Gmail priority inbox - Priority Inbox is a new feature in Gmail that finds the messages of importance and sorts them for you, to prevent email overload. It does this by basing the importance on the emails you read and reply to. Here is how to start using it in your Gmail account.

Steps 01: Hover your cursor over Inbox in the menu found on the left side of your Gmail screen. Click on the side arrow and select Priority Inbox.

Steps 02: Wait while Gmail activates Priority Inbox. This shouldn't take long.

• You will now see that your inbox looks a little different: 

1. Important and unread are now listed first.
2. Starred items are now brought into line as the next priority.
3. All other emails are listed after the starred emails.

• If you don't want to see the actual emails, you can collapse each set of headers using the tiny black arrows located in each header. The end result will appear very neat.
  

Steps 03: Train your Priority Inbox. You can rectify mistakes Gmail makes in highlighting or demoting the importance of your emails by pressing the tabs and stars at the start of each email line that represent increasing or lowering the email's importance. In this way the Priority Inbox quickly learns your preferences.

Steps 04: Customize the Priority Inbox. You can customize the Priority Inbox as follows:

Click on the headers, or go to "Settings". A drop-down menu will appear allowing you to add or change a number of things, including labels, importance status, number of emails shown, hiding when empty, removal of the section and other options.

Steps 05: Change back to the ways things used to be. If you discover that you don't like using Priority Inbox, simply change it back. Do this by selecting the old inbox type in Settings.
