What is the purpose of GPush?
GPush enables iPhone users to receive their Gmail instantly.
BlackBerry became very popular, in part because it offers remote users "instant" e-mail; new e-mails appear on the device as soon as they arrive, without the need for any user intervention, in what is referred to as "push email". GPush provides this functionality at a fraction of the cost.
How do I get GPush on my iPhone?
GPush is available exclusively on the Apple Store and can be purchased in the
App Store.
How do I get GPush to work on my iPhone?
After providing your Gmail credential in the login screen of the app, you will be notified in three different ways of new incoming email.
What types of notifications can I choose from?
You have three options on how to be notified of new email.
- Sounds - the iPhone will beep
- Alerts - the iPhone will display a message similar to an SMS with the author and subject line of the email
- Badges - the GPush icon will keep a count of how many new messages are unread in your Gmail inbox
Can I elect not to see my badge counter of unread messages?
To avoid seeing the badge counter, you will need to mark all unread messages in Gmail as read and turn off the badges notification. Directions are available here to mark unread messages as read.
When does the badge change numbers?
The badge number changes instantly after deleting or archiving a Gmail message from your inbox. The number will NOT change automatically when only marking a message as read due to the information provided to us by Google on their users account activity.
How do I change how I am notified of new email?
Go into iPhone Settings > Notifications > GPush > Sounds / Alerts / Badges
What advantages does GPush have over other push email services?
GPush has three primary advantages.
- GPush does not require a desktop client to forward your messages to
your phone - GPush communicates directly with Google's push server and Apple's notification server, making GPush the fastest push email solution for
the iPhone - GPush is the most secure push email service
How is GPush different from MobileMe?
GPush provides push email for your current Gmail address, a live count of your unread messages, and is much faster than any push email service on the iPhone. It is priced at under a dollar, compared to MobileMe's $99/yr. Using Gmail's infrastructure, users can now receive the same MobileMe features such as contacts and calendar syncing without any of the costs at

What happens if I change my Gmail Password?
If you changed your Gmail login information, you must open the app and change your information in the app as well to continue receiving push notifications.
Does GPush work with multiple accounts?
The current version of GPush does not work with multiple accounts. The premium version of GPush, upon Apple's approval, will allow the user to receive push notifications from multiple IMAP accounts, including Gmail.
What should I do if my credentials are rejected?
If your credentials are refused, please click here to unlock your Gmail account.
Does GPush work with Google Enterprise or Google Apps Accounts?
Yes.
Does GPush work with other IMAP email accounts?
The current version of GPush does not work with non-Gmail IMAP accounts. The premium version of GPush ("GPush+"), upon Apple's approval, will allow the user to receive push notifications from multiple IMAP accounts, including Gmail, AOL, Zenbe, Lavabit and University email.
Should I be concerned about providing my password to GPush?
When we created the app, we committed first and foremost to security. We are using multiple levels of encryption including SSL, obfuscation, and cipher-based encryption. SSL ensures that your credentials can be transported securely. Your login credentials are encrypted using an encryption scheme that has never been cryptographically broken, with a different 'secret key' for each user. To test these security measures, penetration tests were ran on the server with no information accessed.
What should I do if my credentials are rejected even if they are correct?
If your credentials are not being accepted even though they're correct, try waiting for a few minutes (up to about half an hour). Sometimes GMail will have too many connections registered for your account and will refuse new ones until all old ones are closed or have timed out.
How do I forward information about GPush to a friend?
In the app's setup screen there is a GPush icon you can click to forward information about the app to a friend.
