Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Gmail account
• Web browser

1. Check if device meets minimum phone requirements. Cookies must be enabled and secure SSL must be included. The application also requires for the mobile web browser to be XHTML compliant.

2. Open up the device's web browser. Then type the Gmail website into the "Address" field. A login screen appears.

3. Log in to Mobile Gmail. Type your username and password into the blank fields. Click "OK" to access account.

4. Explore Mobile Gmail. Search the inbox by typing in relevant words or terms, view the results and read the messages. Navigate through complex attachments by opening up pictures, Word files and e-cards. Reply back by calling individuals whose digits are already in the contacts list.

Tips & Warnings

• Have an unlimited data plan on the device as those kilobytes can quickly add up. Mobile phone owners who refuse to subscribe to such a deal can still enter the browser system on occasion.
• Read through shortcuts in navigating the application. Treo users, for example, can use their stylus to explore the features with ease. Other subscribers may opt to assign certain functions to specific keypad buttons.
• Be wary of any changes performed on the mobile browser as it's directly synced with the server. In other words, deleted messages on the device will be deleted on the web mail, too.
