Introduction
This is a quick step-by-step guide to setting up email on Gmail.
When you setup a POP email account, your emails are downloaded off the server and into your email client. This means once you delete an email via your email client, it is permanently deleted. POP also has limitations, as such we do not recommend using it if you access your email account via multiple devices.
Please note: You need to have created a mailbox for your account as detailed at ‘How to manage your email addresses‘ before you can set up email your device.
