How to set up Gmail email on Android
Set up Gmail email on Android it's really a breeze: by default, the Gmail app is almost always already present in the system and paired with the Google account configured on the device. So, if you intend to access the e-mail address associated with the latter, you simply have to open the app, carry out the short and very simple initial configuration (everything boils down to pressing the button a couple of times NEXT) and il gioco è fatto!
If, on the other hand, you intend to configure a second Gmail email address within the app of the same name, you can follow the instructions I gave you in the specific section of my guide on how to enter another email.
Do you want to read the Google email from a third party app and not from the official one? You can do it without any problem: almost all the email apps for Android are able to automatically recognize and apply the Gmail server settings. For this reason, you shouldn't be asked for any additional information (other than, of course, your email address and password to use for logging in).
If, for any reason, you still need it, below you can find the parameters relating to the mail servers of the Google email.
- Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.gmail.com
- Door: 993
- SSL: Yes
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
- Door: 465
- SSL: Yes
- Authentication Required: Yes
If you need additional help setting up Gmail, I urge you to carefully read my guide dedicated to the topic.

Doing so is really very simple: first, go to the Settings Android, tap the item Account e fai tap sull'opzione Add account resident in the new screen that opens.
Next, choose the option E-mail, indicates theemail address and Password in the appropriate text fields (remembering that, as regards iCloud, you must enter the password generated previously) and tap the button NEXT: with a bit of luck, the app should be able to automatically configure the mail server parameters, asking you to finish the configuration by indicating the check frequency of incoming mail, whether or not to use theaccount to send emails by defaultis receive alerts about new emails, if synchronize of messages and if automatically download attachments under Wi-Fi network.

Contrary to what one might think, in fact, Gmail for Android is able to manage very well even non-Google email accounts, with the possibility of applying manual configuration if necessary after entering the IMAP parameters.
How? I'll explain it to you right away. After launching the app in question, tap theprofile picture of the account currently configured, located to the right of the upper search bar, and tap on the item Add another account give the purpose menu.
