I hate to sound a bore - I've asked this previously without any success, but does anyone know any cunning way to get access to a gmail account via POP3 on an xdaii / spvm1000?
There are all these snakey third party sites which ask for your username and password (and don't work, meaning you then need to change your password), then there's forwarding your gmail to another address which is also not quite satisfactory.
The frustrating thing is, it seems to work just fine for a couple of days then it all just stops!
Very annoying.
Anyone solving this out wins a big thankyou (and obviously a gmail invite, since these seem to be web currency these days, but then if you knew how to do this, you wouldn't need one!)
Ta
GMail are currently enabling all email accounts with POP3 functionality (if they haven't already finished!).
Go check your account settings. They may have already turned you on! If not I'm sure it'll be soon they started about month or so ago!
But assuming they haven't... Hopefully sometime soon!
I've been trying to add a second google mail account to my phone today. I've gone into 'Google Mail' app, add account, which I already have, and complete the details. I have good wifi signal and can stream videos from youtube very smoothly. I have Vodafone H coverage.... however it comes up saying temporay problem, you have no network connection. I've rebooted the handset, same problem.
Give I have Wifi and H mobile coverage I wonder if you can actually add a second account ? It says you can but has anyone managed to do it yet ? I can login from a PC to my second account ok.
PS I'm using the stock firmware from Vodafone.
once into the Gmail app .
press the menu key and that wil open the "Menu"
on the right side of that menu , there will be "accounts".
Click on that and put in the correct name and password for your 2nd gmail account .
Cheers

I've tested from work this morning, we have a Vodafone transponder in the building as they are the corporate network. We get very good and fast coverage, it still says its temp fault, unstable connection vague message. I've got a good very fast connection, somethings wrong with the app imo.
My first account is gmail and second is googlemail, I can't see that causing a problem. I can log into both via the internet browser fine :-\
It's been confirmed by other users on the Vofafone UK eForum the 2nd email option in Gmail isn't working. It seems the last firmware update broke the feature :|
I have the same problem.
Primary account is google apps.
Have also a gmail
When I try to log in to my third (apps) I get the timeout....
Have no idea what to do..
Confirmed here. Either on WiFi or 3g I'm getting network error while trying to setup second gmail account. First one is Google apps.

Simonq

Anyone?
Have no clue to fix this..
You need to reset your phone to factory defaults and then reconfigure all Google accounts.
It has solved problem on my legend.

There is a workaround that has worked for some people, not including me with this same problem.. Download youtube from market by google, login to it with your second email account.. Hope that works for you, google needs to fix this right now, RESETTING your phone should NOT be an option, not even in the 1980's would this be acceptable.. Google should not be allowed in cell phones if their software did not make the advance in technology that many of us call "reconfiguration"
No problems here using 2 Google Accounts (no stock ROM though, I'm using CM 7 - Gingerbread right now but was the same with CM 6.1 before)
I did the setup through other way...instead of setting it in Gmail, go to phone Settings - Accounts & Sync and setup there the two accounts. My primary one is a Google Apps account configured to sync contacts, mail, notes and calendar and the second one is my personal account (the one set also for Google Checkout) where I've set to sync only mail. When going to Gmail apps I have both accounts there and I can send/receive from both
I convinced the Mrs to get get a wildfire (nice!) but having set up pop3 exactly like i set up on my Hero it says the password/username is incorrect, even tho the password or username is fine!
anyone else had this problem?
i checked to see if all the set up options were the same as my hero and they match perfectly.............any ideas?
the only thing anomalous is the sim card isnt working yet as her number ports today, but connection is fine over wifi
Don't know if this will help, but I set mine up to my yahoo email account using IMAP without any issues.
Update
Ok I now know its not a fault specific to the wildfire, I've tried setting up her email on my hero, with the same result. I've also used my pc to log on using her password and username with no problem at all..........weird!
As I said previously my own pop 3 sets up fine and is also with the same provider, yahoo in this instance, the only thing I can guess at is wether there is a user name length issue? Hers is only 12 letters long tho?
Will try imap and let you know, thanks for the suggestion or try the yahoo app.
Update
installed the yahoo email app from the market and the email comes thru fine with the mrs password etc.....wtf?!!! now i just want to get the HTC email app to work.......really dont get why this not connecting
weirder still!
just got my old diamond working and using the htc email app set up the mrs email account with no problem......
oh also works on my old Xda exec.........................
Hi,
are u setting it up manually or automatic. Because when i put my hotmail account in its working fine automatic. Manually i have no idea.
Also exchange and of course gmail works great on this phone!
Thanks for looking in I've tried to set up both ways even comparing with the settings on my hero, strangely all looks fine!
And as I said her settings work on every device I've tried except sense on android.
ANy solutions yet... ?? it tells me authentication failed..incorrect username/password .. i m setting up my gmail account .. not working for imap and pop both
Possible temporary solution
I bought this phone yesterday for my younger brother and since then its.. f***ing my mind out how to setup his email...
Well after trying all bull**** and even going on email settings tweaking it several times could not get the mails on Wildfire...Also the problem is not with username or password length coz tried to change that too..
For some reason though my account could be setup in a fly on his cell.. but for his own account i had to find a temporary solution
Tap Email setup >> type ur username and password and click manual setup>> Then in the first drop down menu Select POP instead of IMAP >> in the pop server box type pop.gmail.com>>Click on next and finish the process...
Note: For my account IMAP setup was done pretty quickly so it seems to be error from GMAIL server side i have mailed them to look into the matter and resolve the bugs if any.
Works fine for me both POP3 and IMAP.
I am thinking of switching to K9 mail though.

DUDE i wish my bro was as lucky as you.. in any case no development goin on here for wildfire i hope i am not the one to make the first Custom ROM for it..
Password Length
In case anyone comes across this thread as I did looking for an answer to this question:
The length of your Hotmail Password was the culprit for my login success. I had a 17 character password and kept getting "Authentication Failed..." I then tried shortening it to 10 characters and it worked like a charm.
I hope this is the solution to a problem many others have been reporting.
this works for me. thanks heaps!

Hi guys I have unrooted Acer A500 and today I got system update over the air and now I have Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_Gen3 and the biggest feature of this update for me is ability to add Corporate email account ...Microsoft ActiveSync Exchange....
now my tab is configured with the push mail for my office email.....very kool.....
Also With 1.139.05_COM_GEN1 The corporate account has been activated.
Even if I'm facing strange behavior, not being able to sincronize the last 3 / 4 days.
Same configuration of exchange server is perfectly working for touchdown sw.

I also can finally access Corporate account, but not all my Contacts will come down. Can't figure out why. Calender and email are all there.
Check your contacts and see if they are all there.
Same as you, exchange global contacts not available.
As a workaround, I've installed this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL&feature=search_result
Works like a charm !

being able to download a global address book shouldn't be allowed, as some can be HUGE (my job has 27,000+ contacts in the gal)
We had a windows mobile or android phone last year with a corrupt profile and it tried to dl the whole gal.... phone ran out of memory at 17000!
most e-mail apps will allow you to search against it though.
This one doesn't download GAL. It just let you gain access to the GAL as EMail application does it but only for email adress
Yea but I'm accessing my own personal Exchange Server and I don't enforce full encryption. I only keep about 500 names on in it in the "non corporate" side, all associated to my personal account. All 500 came into my HTC Inc2, but my Acer only brought in about 350-400. I'm trying to figure out why, was it an association to a classification, linked accounts... or what. So far seems random.
Also, I downloaded "Corporate address book" you refered to on the Market to my HTC Inc2, (says it won't load to my Acer). I set up my server and to be sure my contacts weren't "GAL" I ran it and says nothing found, no matter what I search for.
Thanks.
Hi guys I have a really strange problem setting up a SMTP mail account on my wifes phone.. It is a bit difficult to explain because I'm dutch and my phone language is dutch too of course..
My wife and I both have a Galaxy s2. I tried to set up our mail account from home (versatel) on our phones. With the Premium account (POP/IMAP) setting both phones worked oke with the mail account. But then when deleting a message form the phone, the message gets deleted from the server too and we dont want that.
So I went to my phone and set up the mail account via manual settings (in stead of premium and just click next). I left the incoming settings alone. (pop.versatel.nl, no verification, port 110) And changed the outgoing setting so the correspondent with the settings on our PC. (smtp.versatel.nl, no verification, port 25)
Now comes the strange thing! This works on my phone. On my wifes phone however it keeps saying our server doesnt support verification. As said I already have this checked of tough.... I already tried deleting the account en resetting. Didnt work. Also tried check verification on and off again. Also didnt work. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue, is there any solution to this?
Follow your email providers instructions IMAP not POP .
Check the ISP ?Network that the mail is sent through they may have port restrictions to prevent spam .
