Sometimes it becomes essential to coordinate two mail accounts to work in tandem. This is essential to ensure proper back up of information and if in case one email account is not working, then information can be accessed from the other. However, before one can set up a coordinated emailing system, it is essential to evaluate the nature of the operating system. According to most of the queries received on the Gmail tech support number, most end users want to coordinate their Apple email ID or Apple Mail and Gmail. The Apple tech support team outlines certain basic steps which if followed, the Gmail account of the user will automatically get coordinated with the Apple mail. Some of the tips following which Apple mail and Gmail can be coordinated are as follows:

• First one will need to sign up for a Gmail account. However, if one already has an account, then skip this step.
• Once the Gmail account has been created, one need to log in to the Apple email.
• Herein under ‘Mail’ a drop down menu with a number of options will appear. • Select ‘Preferences’ in this menu.
• The ‘Preferences’ options will open a dialogue box wherein one can provide the email ID that one wants to add.
• Mention the email ID and provide all the additional information such as full name and password.

According to the tech support team once this process is completed the email IDs will be coordinated. The calls made to the Gmail tech support number usually consists of queries regarding the organization of the two mail boxes. Now one can coordinate the ‘Messages’, ‘Notes’, ‘Calendar’ of the two email systems into one compact whole.

However, the tech support always mentions that certain protocols need to be followed, to prevent the mail boxes from crashing another issue raised by end users on the calls is made to the Gmail tech support number. Some of the easiest methods by which one can prevent a mail box from crashing are as follows:

• While coordinating the two mail IDs it is essential to uncheck the drafts.
• Apple mail automatically saves drafts of all delivered mails on the virtual drive.
• If the draft is left checked then unnecessary drafts will be saves, i.e. two drafts for each outgoing mail will be saved. This will end up cluttering the email itself and the entire emailing system may crash.
• Also uncheck the sent mail as Gmail keeps a copy of the mail sent in the ‘Sent’ mail folder.
• This ensures that two copies of the sent mails are not saved in both the mails, i.e. Apple mail and Gmail.

Hence, by following a few steps one can ensure that all information stored in the mail IDs are well protected. Moreover, the two coordinated mails can be accessed from mobile devices as well like iPad and iPhone.
