Google's Gmail email service has been a huge success.

You also have the power of Google's search engine capabilities to help you locate any email without any problems.

As an Apple iPhone owner you will no doubt be wondering if there is a way of making your iPhone work with Gmail so that you can access your email when you are on the go.

To integrate your Gmail account with your iPhone you will need to log in to your Gmail account and make a change to your settings. Fortunately this is very straightforward. All you need to do is log in to Gmail and go to Settings. Once you are there click on Forwarding and under the POP/IMAP section you should see an option to Enable IMAP Click on that option and then you are well on your way to being able to access your Gmail account from your iPhone.

The next thing you need to do is to get your iPhone and tap on Settings and then tap on Mail. After that click on Add Account and rather than selecting the Gmail option select the Other option. You will need to enter your name, then imap.gmail.com for the host and then your full Gmail address including the @gmail.com at the end.

You will then move to the Outgoing Mail Server, or SMTP. Under the Host Name, you will want to put: smtp.gmail.com then save all of your changes. You have now just set up your IMAP Gmail account, thus allowing you to view all of your Gmail messages, both old and new.

Being able to access your email when on the move is becoming increasing important in today's fast paced world.
