How to use GMAIL with A1200 email client

**Jack** · 06-25-2007, 04:17 PM

EDIT 8/6/07: I have found that changing the SMTP port to 25 ensures I have no problem at all sending email...

Be sure to enable POP access with your GMAIL account first!!!!!
The following settings are useless unless you enable it.

Now, just substitute your email info below in the (bracketed) areas:

SEND SET UP
server: smtp.gmail.com
port: 25
email: (youremail)@gmail.com
nickname

youremail)@gmail.com (note that you have to use your nickname plus the @gmail.com, not only your nickname)
authentication: on
same as receive setup: yes
use ssl: yes

RECEIVE SET UP
pop3
server: pop.gmail.com
port: 995
username: (youremail)@gmail.com
password: *****
reeinter pw: *****
keep on server: on (checked)
incoming msg size limit: 64k
use ssl: yes

Now, take note of the fact that GMAIL will not "PUSH" your email to your A1200...you have to manually check it to see if you have mail.

any problems or questions? PM me.

thats what mine was already setup automatically. I went to add it, & i saw that gmail was already an option for me to select & all this information was already setup in my phone (except for my username/password)

Thanx a ton. I had managed to configure rcv correctly, but used 465 port instead of 587 for smtp (i simply copied the settings from my pc client :"> )

when i try to download the app from the gmail site, it wont isntall as i get an invalid package message or something like that... i found a version that did install however, nothing happens when i click on the input boxes for username or password!!

who knows where i can download a version that you know 100% works with the ROKR E6?

Thanks!

The method in this thread doesnt have anything to do with the java app.

well, in case someone does not know it yet, Google has gmail for mobile that can be installed on a1200. and it is so nice.

I agree, the java app is nice... but with the email client, its easier to utilize the email addresses in your phonebook... know what I mean?

I'm getting the same thing as well. What service provider do you have? I have T-Mobile, and I'm thinking maybe T-Mobile adjusted the ports so that it doesn't allow GMail anymore, because it doesn't work through the built-in Email or Java app.
