This article explains how to install the Gmail app and use it to access your Hamilton email account on an iPhone or iPad. It also covers configuring your Hamilton account in the built-in iOS Mail app instead, if you prefer not to use the Gmail app. We strongly recommend the Gmail app over iOS Mail because Google has built the app with its services in mind for the best possible experience.
