Learn more about the options below to help you find the method that suits you and your mobile device best.
Browser
- Gmail for mobile browsers
Just like you would on a computer, simply go to http://gmail.com in your mobile device's web browser to access Gmail. There's no setup required. The mobile browser interface of Gmail offers familiar features like archiving, labels, and lots of storage on our servers. Best of all, the mobile interface is always in sync with the main Gmail server. Most mobile devices with Internet access and that meet the minimum requirements should be able to access Gmail in the browser.
App
- Gmail for mobile application
The Gmail for mobile application is an email program from Google that you can install on a supported mobile device. Like Gmail in your phone's browser, the Gmail app keeps all your actions in sync with the Gmail server but is faster and offers support for checking multiple accounts. To download the app, point your mobile device's browser to http://m.google.com/mail.
- Gmail application for Android
Most Android devices come with a preinstalled Gmail application, which offers features similar to the Gmail application on other devices but adds support for push email.
Sync
- IMAP or POP access
If you prefer to use your mobile device's native email client, you can integrate a Gmail address with your device using IMAP or POP. Make sure your device is supported for IMAP sync.
- Google Sync (Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®)
You can also integrate a Gmail address with your device's native email client using Google Sync, available for iPhone and Windows Mobile devices. Google Sync for Gmail supports push email.
