- Download Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Hangouts (optional), Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google sheets to your smart phone through the play store or itunes.

- If you would like to create filters (equivalent to rules in outlook) that send emails to folders, here are the instructions https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en.
- If we enabled two-step authentication, you will start seeing notices when you log into your email that you need to enter your cell phone number in. It is IMPERATIVE that you do so asap. After a certain date, you will not be able to access your email without this.
- Download Google chrome (if it is not already installed) at http://www.google.com/chrome and use this to check your email/contacts/calendar. It is recommended you set it as your default browers. You can log in at http://www.gmail.com/ with you full email address and password.
- If you have an android phone, simply add the account to your phone or tablet by following the instructions at https://support.google.com/coordinate/answer/2604692?hl=en . This will automatically sync your email, contacts and calendar.
- If would prefer to use the native phone app for checking your email (not recommended) you can find instructions at http://email.about.com/od/iphonemail/qt/et_gmail_iphone.htm.

- If you are choosing to use http://www.gmail.com to check your email instead of outlook, please do not try to use outlook after this sync the information will not be in sync.
- If we migrated you from Outlook, your old contacts and calendar will still be in Outlook for reference but we do not recommend you use that since they will not sync.
