Here's the scenario:

These days, it is not uncommon for a user to have multiple email accounts, that they may need to access from multiple devices, such as a desktop computer, laptop and a phone. Setting it all up, to work seamlessly, can be a little tricky for the average user.

If you are a G-mail user, and there are millions of us, you are in luck! If you are not a G-mail user, you should be, especially after yo read this post. Not only does Gmail provide you will all the tools to manage multiple e-mail accounts, across multiple devices, they also provide the best SPAM filtering on the planet -- it's amazing what a bunch of smart people can accomplish with a few hundred thousand servers! ;-)

When people ask me how to manage their email, especially if they are being inundated with SPAM, my response is, "No worries, you just need to set a G-mail account to simplify your mail management." More often than not, the response I get, is something akin to the RCA dog look. You can't miss it; even over the phone!

So, in the spirit of being a good Netizen, I thought I would to make this easy for everyone, by posting some step-by-step instructions, for what I consider the ULTIMATE Email Hook-up!

I'm breaking these instructions up into three separate articles:

Part 1: Setting up G-Mail
Part 2: Setting up Outlook
Part 3: Setting up iPhone

Special thanks to my friend, Chipp Walters, for turning me onto this concept, in the first place.

Enjoy!
