Configure Gmail for SMG
Introduction
To use the Secure Mail Gateway with Gmail, some configurations are necessary under Android Enterprise. Below is an overview of the parameters that need to be configured.
It is important that there have been no previous attempts to configure Gmail on the device, as otherwise fragments of these configurations can lead to errors.
‘Gmail’ from Google is particularly suitable as a mail client and as an example for this article, as the app is generally available for all Android versions and device models.
The app cannot be configured manually on the device if the Secure Mail Gateway is to be used.
These instructions require a functioning and configured Secure Mail Gateway.
