How To Push Gmail To Your iPhone

By on Mar 6, 2010 at 3:58 pm

The one feature that I really miss about the blackberry is Push for Gmail. Today I show you how to have this on your iPhone.
Skill Level: Medium
Risk Level: Safe
Requirements

1. Have OS 3.0 or later

Steps

Step 1: Go to Settings

Step 2: Click Mails, Contacts and Calendar

Step 3: Click “Add Account”

Step 4: Click “Microsoft Exchange”

Step 5: Enter your gmail e-mail

Step 6: Skip Domain

Step 7: Enter your username your username@gmail.com

Step 8: Enter your password

Step 9: Enter any description you want

Step 10: A Pop- Up will come up that says “unable to verify” click accept

Step 11: Let it verify the account info (Could take up to 5 minutes)

Step 12: Enter the server name as m.google.com

Step 13: Let it verify

Step 13: Choose the items you want “mail”, “contacts”, and “Calendar”

Step 14: Let it Configure

Step 15: Go to “Fetch New Data”

Step 16: Click “Push” if not already done

Step 17: You are Done! Enjoy!

Notes

You may only have 1 exchange account

This may work for other e-mails but you will need the server info as in Step 12

    This Microsoft Exchange Google Sync helped me delete all my duplicate entries in my iPhone Address. I was trying to figure this out for hours. Thanks Jay.

    Since I did this I am now getting two of every gmail message in my inbox

    I’ve turned the push off and now I’m just getting the one copy. This is a pain as I am new to iPhones having had Blackberries for years and everything about the iphone is better except the push from Gmail, which I thought I’d sorted out. But now I’m back to haaving a better phone which does not do email as well aas the Curve I have discarded. Do RM have a copyright to push or something? Why don’t Gmail/Apple just copy what they do??
