Configuring IMAP iPhone

[MACuser]

Hi, i am having a iPhone which is almost a year old. Yesterday, i found the following post here How to use Gmail IMAP for Windows Mobile 6 with good instruction, thanks for that. Now as i am also a Gmail user, is that possible to configure IMAP iPhone too ? If yes, please let me know how.. Thanks in advance..

Yeah, sure you can use IMAP on iPhone as well. To do so, first you need to Enable IMAP in your main Gmail settings. You can follow the same instruction that re in the above mentioned post for doing the same.

Once you finished doing this, you have some recommended IMAP client settings. Just follow these steps:-

• From your mail account's Advanced Settings:
  
  • Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone > Trash
  • Deleted Messages > Remove > Never

With these settings, messages deleted from the web interface will show up only under your [Gmail]/Trash folder. In addition, messages trashed from the iPhone will show up under your iPhone Trash folder and your [Gmail]/All Mail folder.

For configuring IMAP iPhone, first you need to enable IMAP from your Gmail account settings. Once you are finished doing that, go though these steps for configuration:-

• On your iPhone or iPod touch's home screen, tap Settings
• Tap Mail
• Tap Add Account...
• Tap Other
• Tap Add Mail Account
• Enter your account information, being sure to use your full Gmail address (or full Google Apps email address)
• Tap Save
• For Incoming Mail Server:
  
  • Host Name is 'imap.gmail.com'
  • User Name is your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com' (or full Google Apps email address)
• For Outgoing Mail Server:
  
  • Host Name is 'smtp.gmail.com'
  • User Name is your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com' (or full Google Apps email address)
