Question
I can't log into my gmail account, it keeps telling me the connection is untrusted.
Community Answer
You should be able to bypass this screen (there might be an advanced options link or something similar that will allow you to continue). If this doesn't work, it's a problem in your security settings, and you either need to troubleshoot it or possibly use a different browser.

I use an iOS phone and I deleted my account from my mail. How can I recover it?

You'll want to go to "Mail" in Settings and add a new account. Pick whether your account is through Google, Outlook/Hotmail, or another, and follow the instructions to add your email account.
