Restoring deleted Gmail account on Ipad2

Ipad2: I managed to accidentally delete my gmail account from the ipad. When I try to add the account details again, I choose Google, I can add the email address and password but then the screen reverts to the list of email providers again. I cannot access any emails. The account is still live and is on my iphone.

How can I get it back?

iPad, iOS 8

Hello Denisedlp12,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to re-add your Gmail account to your iPad. We can understand why you'd reach out for a solution.


Try manually adding the account. Here is how to do that.

"How to set up your email account manually

If you need to set up your email account manually, make sure that you know the email settings for your account. If you don’t know them, you can look them up or contact your email provider. Then follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
  2. Tap Add Account, tap Other, then tap Add Mail Account.
  3. Enter your name, email address, password, and a description for your account.

  4. Tap Next. Mail will try to find the email settings and finish your account setup. If Mail finds your email settings, tap Done to complete your account setup.


Enter account settings manually 

If Mail can't find your email settings, then you need to enter them manually. Tap Next, then follow these steps:

  1. Choose IMAP or POP for your new account. If you aren’t sure which one to choose, contact your email provider.
  2. Enter the information for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next. If you don't have this information, try to look it up.

  3. If your email settings are correct, tap Save to finish. If the email settings are incorrect, you'll be asked to edit them. 

If you still can't set up your email account or save your email settings, contact your email provider."


Cheers!

New App Password:

If they are not in Mail, then add them back. Note that you would need a new App Password every so often, being that Mail is a third-party app. You cannot log in using your eMail address password. Go here for gmail: Sign in Using App Passwords - Gmail Help - Google Support
