Gmail is Google’s web-based email service. Gmail is configured when you first set up your GPS-PAD. Depending on your synchronization settings, Gmail on your GPS-PAD is automatically synchronized with one or more Gmail accounts on the web. For more information about synchronization, see “Synchronizing with a Google Account” in the Accounts and sync chapter.

8.2.1. Viewing your Gmail inbox

The Inbox conversations list is your default Gmail view. All your received emails are delivered to your Inbox.
