Many people only access GMail though a web browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc) but it is often far better to access it through an email app, like (Apple) Mail or Outlook. To use this option, you need to allow IMAP or POP access from the settings in the web version of GMail first. To do this, follow these steps...
In a web browser, log in to gmail.com, using your email address and password. Click the cog icon near top-right. Click "See All Settings". Click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP". Click "Enable IMAP". Click "Save". Now create the account in your email app in the usual way. Now your GMail messages can be read and sent through the email app instead of the web.
I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: We Need Trump and Musk: I wonder if Trump and Musk might like to visit here after they have finished sorting out America! (posted 2025-02-11 at 11:40:37). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2025-01-30 Pragmatic Libertarianism: Freedom is important. Maybe it's all that really matters..
