Delete an email from your iPhone and it will be deleted from your Gmail. Gmail will also show what you’ve read on the iPhone, so no more “Mark as read” and reading the same email twice nonsense. To see if your Gmail account has IMAP turned on yet login to your Gmail account and goto Settings.
If you see a tab called “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” you have it. If your tab says “Forwarding and POP” it means your account has not been IMAP enabled by Google yet. But not to worry, Google is rolling it out to everyone over the next few days. Here is what the Settings page looks like with IMAP support. To configure your iPhone to use Gmail with IMAP support follow these 7 steps. A video demonstration is also provided below. 1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings. 4. Tap Add Account. 5. Tap Other. (Note: don’t tap Gmail; if you do, you’ll set up POP rather than IMAP. 7. Tap Save, and you’re done. Read the details here. More info on the official Google and Gmail blogs.
Email, whether work-related or personal, is something we all do. And Apple’s default email client, while decent, isn’t exactly the most compelling software available for iPhone and iPad. And then we ended up testing a whole bunch, which you can read all about below. It is worth noting that Apple DID make a lot of improvements to its Mail app inside iOS 8 and iOS 9, adding in new smart folders and gestures for marking your emails.
It is better, sure, but it’s still not great. And once you’ve seen what’s possible with the myriad alternatives available inside the App Store, well, chances are, like us, you’ll never look back. These email apps - listed in alphabetical order - are the best third-party email apps according to my polling of friends, colleagues, and scouring the web for reviews.
Like Apple’s Mail app, none of these are one-size-fits-all, but if you don’t like the default iOS Mail app, you’re sure to find a suitable replacement below. Yeah, it’s expensive, but Boxer is one of the most feature-rich email apps I’ve found. CloudMagic provides a unified inbox for all your email accounts including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud, Google Apps, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, AOL and other IMAP accounts. I’m a big fan of its flat design and its easy setup process.
Dispatch has a lot of the same features as other apps on this list: support for myriad email accounts, swippable gestures, etc. But the real beauty of this app is its Snippets feature. A “Snippet” is a frequently used reply to common queries you get. Dispatch lets you save these Snippets so you can reuse them the next time you get a similar question.
For whatever reason, the default Mail app doesn’t work well with Gmail. I’ll leave that up to you to decide if this is done purposely as a rub on Apple’s part… or if Gmail's servers are just needlessly complex and hard to work with. But if you’re a big Gmail user you’re going to want to download this official Gmail client from Google.
It doesn’t have near as many cool features as other email apps on this list - and it only works with Gmail email accounts - but if Gmail is the only email you use, this app should be golden. Stellar features include powerful search (of course), nice notifications, and an interface that melds with the web-based Gmail interface nicely.
Google’s brand new email application, titled Inbox, launched awhile ago and is now available on both Android and iOS. Inbox aims to cut the crap and focus on what’s most important to you. BUNDLES - Similar messages are bundled together so you can deal with them all at once. And get rid of them with one tap.
