Before, you could sync Google Calendar using the default Gmail set-up, but you couldn't sync more than one calendar. Before, you could get email using the default Gmail set-up, but you couldn't get emails instantly via Push (like on a Blackberry). Maybe most importantly, Google Sync sticks all your Google Contacts on your iPhone so you don't have to worry about syncing them with a cable to your computer via an address book app. So, Google Sync basically is a free Microsoft Exchange Server for individuals, and it's dead simple to set up. It's everything MobileMe tried, and failed miserably to do.
Email n' Walk is a personal email application that many are heralding as one of the best for iPhone users. With this 99 cent app, you can type your emails while using your camera to watch what is going on in front of you. There are also similarly functioning mobile applications for the Android Market. Some of us have multiple email accounts over which we receive a wide variety of different types of content.
For example, your work account may be littered with files that you need to review. To deal with this, ibisMail provides filtering features and allows you to view HTML. You can organize your emails in folders for review at a later time. This is not the cheapest email app around, but the features are great. Look into it if you are struggling to keep your emails organized across different accounts. For those consumers on a budget, Firemail is an incredible application.

By now, quite a lot of Gmail users use the official Gmail app for iPhone/iPad instead of configuring stuff on the default Apple Mail app. In a way, the Gmail app is much simpler to use, easier to setup and also, a little easier to configure. Although criticized sharply for a lot of feature-lacking initially, Gmail for iOS has grown up to be a robust interface to manage your email.
Surely, there are things like “creating new labels” that are still missing but how often do you find yourself creating a label, really, 1: Configuring Multiple Accounts: Gmail app for iOS lets you sign-up with multiple Google accounts into the app so you can manage all mail from one place. Since you’re using Google’s own app, there’s no dealing with server addresses, POP3/IMAP or anything of that sort. You have just login to your account. In the app, swipe left the inbox view to reveal the mail options.
The account will get added to the existing accounts in your Gmail app automatically. 2: Setting Up a Mobile-only Signature: Mobile-only signatures are important if you want the recipient to know that you’re sending replies/emails from your iPhone/iPad.

Pity we can’t do HTML signatures. 3: Set up Vacation Responder in Gmail app: Right below the Mobile Signature option is your Vacation Responder. I have no clue as to how Google decided to pick this particular feature amidst a thousand others available on the web app, but it’s great anyway.

Map co-ordinate (or Location) in the Maps app. If you don’t prefer this behavior, you can disable it. For instance, I prefer the links open in-app instead of opening a new app. Saves time and processor memory. So how do you get that done,
