Step 2: Configure your Apple device's outgoing mail server

2. Tap on "Add Account" and select "Other" (if you don't see Gmail as an option).
3. Tap on "Add Mail Account" and enter your Gmail address and password.
4. Tap on "Next" and select "IMAP" as the account type.
5. Enter the following information:
   • Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
   • User Name: your Gmail address
   • Password: your Gmail password
