If you are not sure which settings to choose, please consult your departmental IT contact. For example: Apple's mail program has a setting in the Advanced tab, "Remove copy from server after retrieving the message." Outlook Express has an option "Leave a copy of messages on server." Choosing a setting which deletes messages from the server (or does not leave a copy) means you will accidentally delete all downloaded mail from your online Gmail mailbox. The settings shown in the instructions on Gmail's help pages may be the default client settings and may not reflect your choice to leave a copy on the server. This step is included in our Thunderbird instructions below, but if you choose to set up a different client, be sure to look for this setting. If you would like to keep all your email online in Gmail (which we recommend), pay special attention to the settings when configuring your client. Some of the default settings will delete the mail from your mailbox once it is downloaded, which may not be what you plan to do.

When you would like to backup your messages, you will open the client and wait for it to download your mail. (Below, we provide instructions for backing up your mail with Thunderbird, which is available for Mac, PC, and Linux.) You are going to set up the email client to download your emails using POP, which is a mail protocol - a way of downloading your mail. To back up email locally, you will need to configure an email client to download your mail. We don't recommend following these instructions unless you have a compelling reason. While most of us will NOT need to store mail locally, some may have a reason: for example, staff who are planning to leave the University and would like to leave a copy of their emails with a department. Google backs up data for the services it offers. There may be better ways of managing your email from a mobile device, but finding them won’t be easy.Since Gmail stores your mail in the "cloud", it is not downloaded to your computer (stored locally).

Gmail’s official app is, like its desktop version, a must-have service for any regular Android user. Thanks to the all of the widgets installed in the Gmail app, you can monitor email tags on your device’s main screen, or simply see your latest incoming emails (and answer them if you want). Gmail’s intelligent management system also separates promotions, from social emails, and both of these from the truly important emails. Gmail’s interface is very similar to the desktop browser client which just about all users are already use to: on the left column you have different tags and categories, while in the center of the screen you get to read all of your emails. Thanks to this feature you’ll be able to get all of your emails in a single place, without having to resort to any other email manager. The first thing users will note is that, apart from having your regular email account, you can also associate other, different accounts to the app. Gmail is the official app for the Google email client that lets you manage you email account (and any other account you may have) using a clean and user-friendly interface.
