Setting up email in Gmail

Gmail can be set up like a normal email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mac Mail but secure and online and available on all your devices.

Firstly you need to set up your Gmail to be able to recieve your emails from our Server.  When we set up your email mailbox we will have emailed you your settings for setting up your email client.  If you do not have these details, please contact us.
