Hi,
I am always getting a 'please check username and password' error after setting up my gmail mailbox. I am able to access the internet using opera, which means gprs is not the problem, and i am able to log into the same account using opera. But it does nt work using the mailbox option. Any ideas why?
more than 10 soft resets, and deletion of the account and re making it solved the problem... Thanks anyway

i could use some help for using gmail/hotmail with pocket outlook.
i tried using the pHotmail program but it doesnt work.. i guess i need an 2gb account which costs $20 per year for using (pocket) outlook and hotmail together??
for Gmail i use the following settings:
Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com:995
Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
Domain: www.gmail.com
under Options checked "Require SSL Connection" "Outgoing mail requires authentication" "Use separate settings"
Clicked Outgoing Settings
Entered my username, password, checked "Require SSL for outgoing mail"
Domain: www.gmail.com
now i have 2 problems with the Gmail:
1) after i have read an email it disappears from the pocket outlook inbox (its still in the gmail-inbox since thats what i selected at gmail-forwarding and pop settings)
2) i cant seem to send any messages.. they stay in my outbox instead of being send.. also pOutlook gives the message that it cant download any messages when i try to send an email
i tried some different outgoing-mail settings like note using ssl, but it doesnt make a difference
seems im missing something :roll:
edit: typo
problem 1 has resolved itself
but i still cant send emails using pocket outlook with Gmail...
also with "pocket email checker" aka "httpmail checker" i cant even open the inbox. it keeps saying "error"
anyone else had this problem?? could a different rom solve the problem? im now using the standard dutch t-mobile rom.
the problem was that i filled in the domain name (www.gmail.com)
when i left it empty it worked and i am now able to send and receive emails using Gmail.
however i would still like someone to tell me how to use pocketHotmail :!:
pOutlook does find the folders which i use in hotmail (example: i have a folder named school and poutlook now has that folder without me making it) but when i pres send/receive it doesnt say connecting but instead waits about 3 seconds and then says finished...
i tried settings:
incoming: hotmail/pop.hotmail.com
ssl: not required and required
filling in the domain and leaving it empty
sorry if my questions seem dumb, ive got my universal for 7 days now and ive read alot here and in other topics but not everything...
Question on problem 1?
any idea how problem 1 resolved itself? i have the same problem. i've read the other posts and made the suggested changes, but no difference - the email disappears the next time i sync whether or not i've read it.
thx
this is because you probably have it set to: get full copy of messages
this way gmail sees you alreaddy downloaded the message and doesnt send it again to poutlook.
poutlook sees gmail doesnt send the email header anymore and deletes it.
smart thinking of both programs, but doesnt combine well :wink:
try using: get message headers only. and download 999kb of the message (entire message) body
this will probably get rid of the problem you have.
ha, works like a charm! thank you
Any reason why I should be failing to download Gmail and Outlook email to my MDA Vario? When gmail logs in via the messaging menu it shows that it is downloading headers but nothing shows in the inbox. As for Outlook email, on ActiveSynch it shows the number of emails that I have to be transferred to the mobile but it doesn't. What is wrong???
Also another thing, I have tried using the Gmail APP with Esmetec Java and Midlet manager but it fails. Esmetec has never worked with any java application I have downloaded. Is there a fix for this? I prefer Midlet Manager over Esmetec is there a way to remove/Uninstall Esmertec which is in ROM?
gmail java applet 1.5 has bugs.. use gmail 1.1 version.
you can install intent java midlet straight away on ur device..google for it.
FOR OUTLOOK SETTINGS
pop settings for gmail on pocket are different now
u have to add recent: for downloading emails from your gmail account.
EXAMPLE:
if your gmail email address is [email protected] then
user name for pop (downloading email) will be recent:[email protected]
user name for smtp will be [email protected] (No need to type RECENT for smtp)
is POP ENABLED in your GMAIL INBOX SETTINGS?
open your gmail inbox..click settings..then click POP and Forwarding..then click enable pop email for email starting today(sumthing like that it says)
then save settings..
then try it on ur pocket pc.
save and it wil work..mine is working just fine now..
Thanks for the settings, However they have failed to work for me. Using the gmail settings you gave me I get an "Error Syncronising" message. The old settings actually show how many emails i have but does not download them. I downloaded gmail 1.1 and it has worked on esmertec but I still need pop access for gmail.
I checked with my email and it is indeed activated unless I am missing something here. This is also the same problem with Outlook on activesync
Everytime i try to send/receive mail using the touchflo interface I get an error saying it cant connect because of my settings or other.
however using the same gprs data settings (which are turned on) I can connect to the internet using opera and update the weather so im presuming that there is nothing wrong wap settings i am using and so must be some other problem.
any help appreciated. thanks
Hello
I've met this problem. Here is my configuration :
I have an outlook / Microsoft Exchange server, and 3 imap mails.
Whenever I use send and receive for TF3D I get the same errot as you.
But when I select an Imap account, and do send/receive only in this account it works.
So I ended thinking that it was because the Outlook exchange failed. Which could be normal as I did WIFI on internet, and so not using the activesync to synchronise my mails on Outlook/Exchange servers.
I guess Exchange server cannot be accessible through internet.
Can you detail your mail accounts ?
i currently only have my yahoo address on my HD and havent synced with outlook.
Key kauka, I haven't been able to get my Yahoo working on my HD yet. Any tips?
Thanks

Have you paid for the Yahoo Plus service? Without it you wont be able to collect emails from the email tab.

ok i got it working and i dont have a plus account. all i did was delete the account and start again. then i manually added the correct POP settings, which i got off the net, and voila im done. i tried inputting the same settings into the already made account but it didnt work so making a new one is advised. also make sure that in the advanced server settings that both boxes for SSL are ticked.
hope it works for you too and good luck
I've got it working now. Thanks Kauka for the information.
By the way, I do not pay for a Yahoo! Plus account either.
Thanks again
Randomly but frequently I get the email popup that askjs for my user name and password. I repeatedly enter it and click the svae box but it continues to pop up. It happened on the 2.10 ROM and now the 2.13 ROM. Any ideas on a fix???
I have deleted my yahoo email and set it up multiple times, tried a hard and soft reset.

I had that happen to my GMail Account. But I guess it was because it had a captcha lock on it. I do not know if Yahoo has that type of thing.
Can you login into yahoo on your pc?

My Yahoo mail on my HD2 was working just fine until yesterday...now it won't synch at all and keeps giving me the following message:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings" (which then takes me to the T-Mobile Data settings, which I never change and leave on default)
All other mail accounts (Hotmail, Gmail, etc) working just fine...
HELP??
Same thing with my HD2. My gmail and university email dont show, it syncs sometimes but does not download any mail(i can see the new emails on my computer but they dont show on the phone) but hotmail works just fine.
anybody found a solution? I tried deleting the account and setting it up again, doesn't work!!
The problem starts today 13 June, my Gmail just won't push, I already tried to "Clear data" on Gmail storage and Gmail application from the "Manage applications" option. But I can't sign in and get an error message "Cannot establish connection bla bla bla".
I even tried to reflash my ROM three times already, did the factory reset. no use. Finally I restored the nandroid back up that I have, it's signed in but Gmail still won't push. Internet 2G 3G Wifi all Ok, but Gmail won't push...
Does Gmail server down??
Any suggestions?!
Thanks! =)
Hey, I can sign in and Gmail works fine when I'm connected to VPN...
I do live in China, so I think it's the local server of Gmail... Isn't it?
my gmail pushes fine... would suggest you make sure under settings/accounts that your gmail is set to sync your mail?? might try signing out and signing in again on phone
Oh ok, thanks for your reply, as I expected, the China server of Gmail has a problem and moved the address of host. If anyone of you experiencing the same problem, email me, I'll help you solve it =)
