Set up Gmail for iOS/Android

This page is targeted at

  • iPhone/iPad/Android users

Get Gmail in your iPhone, iPad, or Android device ready for KUMail by following the steps below. Though we use iPhone in the explanation, you should be able to set up Gmail on an iPad or Android device in the same way.

If you already have other accounts in Mail, be sure to add KUMail as a new, separate account to prevent trouble.

1. Install Gmail to your iPhone or iPad.

Hint: Android comes pre-installed with Gmail.

2. Launch the Gmail app.

3. Tap the user icon in the top-right corner.

4. Tap Add another account.

5. Choose Google.

6. Enter your KUMail address and tap Next.

7. Sign in with your SPS-ID and password.

After you click Login, you'll be asked to authenticate with a second factor. For more on this multi-factor authentication, see Multi-Factor Authentication User's Guide.

8. Make sure that your KUMail account is turned on and tap Done.

Your Gmail app is now ready for KUMail.

Note:

  • When you set up for the first time, it may take some time for the Gmail app to retrieve your messages. Don't close the app until it's over.

  • If you want to change your sender address (From address), you must add it to the web version of Gmail in advance.
