It isn’t a surprise that an operating system owned by Google includes the Gmail app as standard.
Gmail works particularly well on Android because it can push new emails to your device rather
than your device having to pull them from the server. This means that you do not have to
manually connect to a data network (or Wi-Fi) to check your Gmail account. Gmail also
integrates perfectly with many other apps that Android uses as standard.Using the
Gmail App
If you have a Google account, you also have a Gmail account by default, even if you have never used it. Your Gmail
account is useful for lots of things on Android, including syncing your contacts.Activating Your Gmail Account
Enter your first and last name along
with the Gmail address you would
like to use. If your name is not available
you can try a different one; you may need
to add a number to the end or you can view
suggestions made by Google. These will
incorporate your name in some form.When you open the Gmail app, if
it’s the first time you have used it,
it will ask you to set up a new account or
log in to an existing one. Select “Sign In”
and enter your username (Gmail address)
and password. If you don’t already have an
account choose Set Up.Once you have activated or signed in
to your account the Gmail app will
open properly and display any emails you
have in there. If it is a new account this will
be a welcome email. If you are signing in to
an existing account your old emails will load
after a short time.1 2 3
