This article explains how to install the Gmail app (if it isn’t already on your device) and set up your Hamilton email account on an Android phone or tablet.
Instructions
Step 1: Get the Gmail app
Gmail comes preinstalled on most Android devices. Check your app drawer before downloading — if the app icon is already there, skip to Step 2.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your device.
- Tap the search bar and type Gmail.
- Select Gmail – Email by Google from the results.
- Tap Install and wait for the download to complete.
Step 2: Add your Hamilton account
- Open the Gmail app.
- Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Tap Add another account.
- Select Google as the account type. Hamilton email accounts run on Google Workspace, so they use the Google sign-in flow.
- Enter your full Hamilton email address (username@hamilton.edu) and tap Next.
- Enter your Hamilton password and complete two-step verification if you have it enabled.
- Review the account permissions screen and tap I agree to finish setup.
Once setup is complete, your Hamilton account will appear in the account switcher, and mail will begin syncing automatically.
