If you're running software update 1.1.3, please note that tapping the 'Gmail' button will automatically configure Gmail IMAP. Here's how to set up POP:

1. Tap Mail from your iPhone's Home screen.
2. Tap Other.
3. Select POP from the tab menu.
4. Enter your name, email address, and password in the appropriate fields. The Address field should be your full email address ([email protected]). Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com.'
5. Under Incoming Mail Server, fill in the Host Name field as 'pop.gmail.com.' Google Apps users, enter the server names provided, don't add your domain name in this step.
6. Under Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), fill in the Host Name field as 'smtp.gmail.com.'

If you're accessing your Gmail from multiple POP clients, we recommend setting Use Recent Mode to ON.

1. POP: POP (Post office protocol) is a one-way download of your messages that allows you to access your mail with a mail program like Outlook Express or Apple Mail. POP only offers one-way communication, which means that actions you take in the mail program (like marking a message as read) won’t be synced to Gmail.
2. domain: A domain is a name for an IP address and is more commonly recognized as a website or web address. For example, Google.com is a domain.
