How to set up The Grid 2 with Googlemail

The Grid 2's email client is a great new way to communicate. You'll need an email account to use for each user, and google provide free email accounts with pop3 access (required for The Grid 2) and good spam filtering as a bonus.

Get a googlemail account

I suggest that you have an account that is ONLY used with The Grid 2 to prevent The Grid 2 interfering with the operation of your normal email account.

If you don�t have a googlemail account, you need an invite. Ask someone who has an account to email you an invite (if you don�t know anyone, email barney@sensorysoftware.com).

You�ll get an email with a link to a sign in form. Fill it in (noting down the username and password you select) and go on through to your account.

Set up googlemail to allow Pop3 access

Now you have a googlemail account, you need to set it up to allow The Grid 2 to access the emails.

• Click on Settings in the top right corner of the screen.
• Click on the Forwarding and POP option along the top of the main window.
• Mark the box Enable POP for all mail.
• Click on Save Changes.

Googlemail is now setup, so you can sign out and close Internet Explorer.

Set up your user in The Grid 2

The next step is to configure The Grid 2 to access your googlemail account.

• Select the user you want to enable email for, and open the User Settings.
• From the categories on the left, select Workspace settings > Email.
• Enter the following information:
  • Receiving mail:
  • Pop3 host: pop.gmail.com
  • username: Your googlemail username (including @gmail.com)
  • password: Your password
