As we know that Gmail can be configured in many mail clients such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Windows Mail, Entourage, Eudora, Foxmail, Mozilla, Netscape Mail, SnapperMail, The Bat, iPhone etc. You will find all the instructions how to configure the Gmail in these mail clients but I am sure that you will not find configuration with one of the best and oldest mailing platform, Lotus Notes.
