how to add gmail again after migration to new iPhone

How do I add my gmail to a new iPhone? I forgot to select "mail" when I made a copy of my old iPhone in iCloud .

Everything is installed in the new phone, and I try to select a "new account" for adding gmail again.

I entered :settings, accounts passwords.

Selected: new account

Entered:name, email, description.

Next field asks for incoming mail : "Hostname"

I have no idea what this should be

Next field is : username: required: is this the same as my gmail addres?

See the following from Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

How to set up your email account automatically

If you use an email provider like iCloud, Google, or Yahoo, Mail can automatically set up your email account with just your email address and password. Here's how:

Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts.
Tap Add Account, then select your email provider.
Enter your email address and password.
Tap Next and wait for Mail to verify your account.
Choose information from your email account, like Contacts or Calendars.
Tap Save.

However, if you want to set it up manually instead of using the above instructions, the settings are described in the following from Google help: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en
