Your 1st Day - Get Set Up

1. Set Up Your Mobile Devices

• Android - Please follow the link to read the instructions and requirements for setting up your work email on your android device.

• iPhone and iPad - We highly recommend that you download and use the Google Gmail, Calendar, Chrome, Meet and Google Search apps.  Using the Google apps instead of the Apple-provided Mail and Calendar apps provides a more seamless experience. Follow the setup instructions link to know which apps we recommend that you download for your iOS device.

2. Consider Enabling Popular Settings

Back to the web browser on your laptop or desktop.  Google Mail defaults are set for usability, but you might want to enable a few setting.  Click on the gear symbol to access Google Mail Settings.

1. Undo Send - after you enable this feature, when you click "send" on a message, Google Mail delays sending the message for a short period of time and displays a message with an "undo" link you can click.  If you don't click the link, then Google Mail sends the message after the waiting period.  You choose a waiting period from  5 seconds to 30 seconds.  Below is a sample of the message displayed after you click "send":

2. Send & Archive - if you enable this feature, you see a new "send and archive" button whenever you reply to a message.  Your reply is sent, and the conversation is immediately archived.

3. Enable Offline Mail - Sometimes you will need to check your messages while you're device is offline. You can enable your Gmail to be available Offline when you are using Chrome.  In Gmail, access Settings.  Next to Advanced Settings is the Offline settings. Choose how many days of email to store: 7, 30 or 90.
