Additional Tips

• Make sure you have a stable internet connection before setting up your Gmail account.
• If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Gmail account, you may need to enter a verification code sent to your phone or another device.
• You can also set up your Gmail account to use IMAP or POP3 protocols instead of the default Exchange protocol. To do this, go to the Mail app, click on "Accounts", and then select "Manage accounts". Click on the "Advanced" button next to your Gmail account, and then select the protocol you want to use.
