iPod touch Question about iPod Touch 2nd Gen

[VirtuallyInsane]

I was playing around with the iPod Touch 2nd Gen I got, and it's running on 4.2.1 and I managed to actually download a couple of ancient apps for it. Yes, I know that iPod 2nd Generations are very old devices and you can still upload music onto them, surf the web bit and use the built-in apps but I am curious to know if the mail still works on them and if you can link your iCloud account.

Is it possible to do this at all? I know that you can do this on the Touch 4th Gen.

Mail should work if you add accounts via the settings app. iCloud won't fully work as that was introduced with iOS 5.

I'm not sure, haven't tested it on iOS 4.2.1

Update: I got Outlook to work but idk how to get GMail to work. Followed the same method.

Gmail doesn't work anymore on older devices, due to Google disabling less secure sign-in technology, which is basically just signing in using a Username and Password through the app itself which iOS 6 and below uses. Google now uses a newer sign-in technology, which basically asks the client to open a webpage with the login page (accounts.google.com)
