Gmail on your phone 📱

The Gmail app on a phone or tablet.

This is the easy one. The Gmail app can hold your harleypig.com email right next to your regular mail, so it all shows up in one place. You don't need to know anything techy — just follow along.

Reading Gmail on a computer, in a web browser, instead? That one sets up differently — use the browser guide instead of this page.

Step by step

The Gmail app comes on most Android phones, and you can install it on an iPhone or iPad too. Here's the whole thing:

  1. Open the Gmail app. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  2. Tap Add another account.
  3. Choose Other — not Google. (Your harleypig.com email isn't a Google account, so this part matters.)
  4. Type your full email address (you@harleypig.com) and tap Next.
  5. Choose Personal (IMAP), then Next.
  6. Type your new password and tap Next.
  7. If it asks for an incoming or outgoing server, put in mail.harleypig.com for both and tap Next.
  8. That's it — you're done! 🎉 Give it a minute and your mail will show up.

If it ever asks you to pick between IMAP and POP3, pick IMAP (that's step 5 above). IMAP keeps your mail on the server, so it looks the same on every device. POP3 pulls it onto one phone and can make it vanish from everywhere else — you don't want that.

Rather not fiddle with it? 🙋

No problem at all. You can always just read your mail in a web browser at webmail.harleypig.com — nothing to set up — or call me and we'll do this together.
