History of Gmail:

A user typically accesses Gmail in a web browser or the official mobile app. Google also supports the use of email clients via the POP and IMAP protocols. The service comes with 15 gigabytes of storage. Users can receive emails up to 50 megabytes in size, including attachments, while they can send emails up to 25 megabytes.

Setting up Gmail:

It is possible that Mail will find the configuration itself and set up your account. Apply these steps first in order to try:

1. Open Settings, then Mail, then tap Accounts
2. Click Add Account, then Other then tap Add Mail Account
3. Enter your name (can be any name), your email address, your password and a description for account
4. Tap Next. Mail should try and find the e-mail parameters and complete your account setup. If the Mail app finds your e-mail parameter, click Done to complete your account setup.

If Mail can't automatically set up your account, it means that you need to enter them manually. I think you may need the following information:

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) Setup

Outgoing Mail Server Setup (via SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose either IMAP or POP for your new account. If you don't know which one to opt for, contact Gmail
2. Type in the required information (You will want to have a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next
3. If your email settings are correct, tap Save to complete . If your e-mail configuration is incorrect, you'll be asked to edit those settings.
4. If you still aren't able to configure the account, or save the email settings, contact the e-mail provider.
