  6. Tap "Next" and then select "IMAP" as the account type.
  7. Enter the following settings:
    • Host Name: imap.gmail.com
    • Username: your Gmail address (e.g., [yourname]@gmail.com)
    • Password: your Gmail password
    • SSL: On
  8. Tap "Next" and then select the account type (e.g., "Personal" or "Work").
  9. Choose the account name and description (optional).
  10. Tap "Save" to save the account settings.

Additional Settings (if required):

If you need to set up additional settings, such as SSL/TLS or authentication, you can do so by tapping on the "Advanced" option under the "IMAP" settings.
