I’ve been using the iPhone for a while now and although having mobile email is very handy, it’s sometimes difficult to find important emails in the sea of spam that arrives in my inbox. There are a few products available that can help this but here’s a way you can use Google Mail’s excellent spam filters to do the job.

Firstly log into Google mail and click on the forwarding/POP tab to enable POP download on your account.

Then follow the on screen instructions to set up this email account on your iPhone.

Then click on the Account tab and set up the ’send mail as’ option so that your outgoing email is sent from you@yourdomain.com rather than your.gmail@googlemail.com

Finally, change the settings on your main email account to forward your incoming mail to your Google Mail account.

This will route your incoming mail through Google Mail first before it is downloaded to your iPhone. Thus eliminating your spam problem…
