Gmail is a very difficult service for many Chinese users. Although the Gmail service is blocked, for computer users, just set up the Google Hosts file to re-open Gmail on the browser, but for iPhone Say, the iPhone that is not jailbroken can't modify Hosts, so how can iPhone users use Gmail safely? The following small series introduces several ways to access Gmail from the iPhone. 1, VPN + iOS Gmail client using VPN, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook should be able to open, here to access Gmail experience is best iOS's Gmail client, its experience is almost the same as the computer-side Gmail, mail search also It’s completely normal. If Gmail is unblocked someday, it’s recommended that users also prefer the iOS Gmail client. The download method of the iOS Gmail client can be found by searching Gmail in the AppStore, but it does not support the Chinese market at present, and it is necessary to download the account in the US market. 2, iOS built-in mail system is correct, although Gmail is blocked, but iOS built-in mail system can still access Gmail, why iOS Gmail client can not open, but can use iOS built-in mail system to open Gmail, the reason is very simple iOS's built-in mail system uses IMAP and SMTP to access Gmail. Its port is not yet blocked, and Gmail's iOS app is estimated to use https to access Gmail, and its port 443 has been blocked. First open IMAP in the Gmail settings, then set the account on the iPhone, set the method, go to “ Settings & rdquo; & mdash; & mdash; & ldquo; mail, address book, calendar & rdquo; & mdash; & mdash; & ldquo; add account … & rdquo; , then select “Google”, enter your account information and password, click Next when you are done. Here, users are strongly encouraged to enable Google’s 2-step verification and then generate an iPhone<application-specific password", so that we only need to enter the generated password on the iPhone. Once the iPhone is lost, we are in Google’s two steps. Deleting the "application-specific password" on the verification screen will prevent the iPhone from continuing to access Gmail messages. If I access Gmail via IMAP, the new mail processing is normal, but the old mail search is not normal. If you use Gmail's search function frequently, it is recommended to use the iOS Gmail client or computer browser. 3, third-party iOS mail system Since the IMAP port of Gmail is not blocked, then in theory any third-party iOS mail client can access Gmail through IMAP, after my test, the main domestic mail APP (such as Tencent QQ mailbox and NetEase Mailbox Master can access Gmail mailboxes through IMAP normally, but the mail search function is still not normal. From the domestic third-party mail system to access Gmail, ordinary Internet users can play, for domestic public intellectuals, it is recommended to use iOS built-in mail system, for your understanding. In general, if the user has a lot of Gmail emails and often needs the search function, then the VPN+iOS Gmail client method is recommended. If you only process new emails, you can use the iOS built-in system to access Gmail via IMAP. This article comes from [System Home] www.xp85.com
