I've successfully used POP and gmail on my phone a few weeks ago. I received my email periodically but then recently I had to reset my phone. When I put in my password, a password is already saved and i know it's not my password because there are too many asterisks. Everytime gmaill tries accessing my email, i have to log in and log out and constantly enter my password. Is there any way I can erase what the system has saved for my password? I have tried numerous times erasing the gmail account and reinstalling it but for some reason that password, whatever it is, is saved to my phone. Please help? Thanks in advance! =D
Oh, those asterisks
One thing that might be happening is that you have an even number of asterisks, and that it is twice as long as your password. That's what I've noticed on my Gmail account. So, is your problem that the password just seems incorrect due to its length, or can you not send/receive your Gmail?
hey..
I can receive and send emails but before I do it, I have to constantly type in my password. The password saved is twice as long as my password and then some. I have to manually check if I have received any emails but a few weeks ago it would notify me like a text if I received an email. Any suggestions?
This might be more of a solution than you need but it should fix your problem.
Try Seven-beta which is an excellent tool (best I've come across) for getting Push Gmail (and most other emails accounts) on your phone. It works instantly and is very simple to set up. You can get it from their site or get it where I uploaded to here.

Well ive pretty much given up on getting my gmail pushed to my 8125 since nothing has seemed to work so i was just going to go back to using outlook to check my mail every 5 minutes. This used to work when i first set it up but i tried it today and whenever i hit send/receive it never brought up any messages even though i just sent it from my yahoo account. I then deleted the gmail account off of the phone and re-set it up. I sent a test message from my yahoo account, hit send/receive, and it showed up. I then sent a test message from my comcast account and it showed up also, one problem though....the first message from my yahoo account dissapeared. I thought it was strange so i hit send/receive again and the second message i sent to myself from comcast also dissapeared. Im not deleting the messages off of the servers or anything, they just dissapear whenever i hit send/receive. Im getting really fed up with trying to set up my email account and im very tempted to just go back to my treo....
I know the feeling...
I have a T-mobile MDA and I have the same problem with gmail. When I first set it up I had 200+ emails then everytime I did a send/receive I would loose some until finally I lost all of them. I tried downloading straight from gmail and the same thing happened. Now I can't get anything when I send/Receive. According to T-mobile this is a known issue with gmail...they said that gmail is still a beta setup and their pop settings don't always work. I have since just had my gmail forwarded and it seems to work..atleast I know that it is there
Well I don't know if this exactly a fix....but I use gmail as my main account and I just have my gmail forwarded to an exchange account I have. I mean...I do have to prune two accounts but, as for now, its the only soloution I have.
Hey all,
I've been having some problems with POP3 and gmail on my TyTN/8525. That problem being: it doesn't work anymore. It worked great for about a week, then just stopped working for no apparent reason. I didn't change any of my gmail settings during this time.
After it stopped working, I randomly got 5 of the 100+ e-mails that I was suppsoed to get. Gmail is receiving them fine and I can see them when I login to gmail, they just don't get downloaded when my phone pops it. I can send e-mail through gmail's pop fine.
Anyone have a clue what my problem might be?
Thanks,
Todd

Which wireless provider?
Have you tried deleting the Gmail account on the TyTn and then re-adding it?
Can you POP3 access it from you'r home computer etc (to make sure it is not a Gmail issue)?
If these do not help post you're setup so we can take a look
I think the problem seems to stem from the fact that Gmail breaks down your messages in groups, like around 300 or so messages at a time. On top of that, Pocket IE doesn't download the full messages by default and, as such, leaves a copy of the messages on the server. I think when this happens, Gmail doesn't prepare the next "group" of messages to send to you. Also, Pocket IE, by default, is set to show only messages from the last 3 days, so even though it may have downloaded a bunch of messages, you'll only see the ones that are 3 days old or less. You'll want to uncheck that option.
Try setting up your account as you normally would in the desktop mail app of your choice, Outlook Express for example. Make sure it isn't set to leave a copy of the messages on the server. If Outlook Express didn't download the first group of messages, make sure to do a manual send and receive. That will hopefully tell Gmail to prepare your next group of messages. Alternate Send/Receives with your phone and Gmail until you get to your most recent messages. Also, try putting recent in front of your user name, IE, "recent:[email protected]" instead of just your user name/e-mail address.
i find with gmail that it stops working every few weeks and i have to go into gmail on my pc and re-check the Get all pop email from now, ( it seems there are too many emails to be sent down )
using the "recent:" prefix before your login in your outlook username should fix this.

I just got my Mogul last week, and i find this one thing annoying -- I have it set up for Gmail, checking with POP3, and what it does is will only display mail it has not seen before, which would be fine, but if i have an email in my inbox on the phone it will get removed once it checks for mail again, even if it is still unread.
does anyone know if i can change that?
i would use IMAP but the problem with that is some messages won't display the body of the message on the phone.
So if you know of a fix to either of these i would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.
for pop3 check that its not set to download messeges from today only, and also make sure its not being deleted through gmails webaccess or some such
it is set to get the past 3 days, and they are set to stay on the server even after being downloaded through pop. I have had to go online to check it after my phone deleted one after a second send/recieve, so they are all still on the server. I just wish the phone would keep any message it downloads till i specificaly say to delete them.
I'm in the same boat with you. It's fairly annoying, to be honest. There are times when I'm not able to check my phone for email until it's already checked the server a couple of times. So when I can check it, any new messages I recieved after the first server check have already been cleared out of the inbox on my phone.
Is there no way to keep unread messages on the phone until they've been read or until I specifically tell the phone to delete them?
im not sure what the issue is, it works fine for me, messeges are always there, unread, on the phone until i mark them as read (even if i read them through the web access i still have to mark them read on the phone too) i dont know what other settings you can check
defaultdotxbe, could you possibly post the settings you have on your phone for checking your gmail account? and maybe even the settings you have under the POP3 tab in your gmail? maybe we'd be able to replicate exactly what you have for settings. it's probably that we have something set just slightly differently, and my guess is that it's going to be something in the gmail account settings, not the settings on our phones.
be sure of having this as username: recent:[email protected]

in the pop3 tab in gmail i have "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)" and "When messages are accessed with POP archive Gmail's copy"
on the phone i have all the default settings (automatically downloaded when i entered my email address) accept i change "download messeges from the past 3 days" to 7 days (although it works the same with 3 days)
im using sprint rom 2.17
I had the same issue. The username was the issue. Thx for that
yep, the username was what was wrong, thanks!
now when i send a message, the next time i check for messages it arrives as a new email... is there anyway to stop that?
nope, sorry
As of yesterday, My gmail account on my phone shows no mail at all. I have deleted and recreated the account. It says the certificate is not valid and asks me if i want to continue on my first send and receive after that, but I still get no mail. My Gmail account has mail, I can access it from the pc no problem. If I send to myself it appears in my inbox on the pc. I have no clue of what else to check

The invalid certificate issue is almost always caused by the host computer (in this case, your phone) having the incorrect date. If you phone says it's 2012, any certificate that expires in 2011 will automatically be considered expired and thus invalid.
If you are dual-booting Android, your phone's date will be set in the future. Not sure why this happens, but it does every time for me.
Thanks! that was exactly it! This forum rocks!
Hello guys, I lost my password of yahoo mail, but fortunately my password is stored on my WP7 HD 2 phone, it automatically updates emails and working well. When I am checking my password field on mobile phone, it just shows black circles and I can't detect my password. As regards password restoration, it is impossible, because I don't remember my security question answer. Please help me. )))

Why don't you try to log into your Yahoo account on a regular PC browser and try to retrieve your forgotten password? If you've forgotten your security answers contact Yahoo support. No other way around it. BTW...what happened to your alternative email account you're supposed to have set up when you first opened your Yahoo account?
