I cannnot acces to my email un gmail.
I'll really apprecaite if somebody can give me all parameters
I have 3 Gmail invites available
I was able to access my Gmail on XDA II. I now have an XDA IIs with 2003 se. I used the same parameters as on the XDA II 1.72 but I am unable to access my gmail. It seems to log on but stops in the downloading process.
Sorry, but I just realized that the problem I was having with my gmail account was not due to using 2003 se but because apparently (I don't know how) the settings on my gmail account had changed.
Here are the instructions that helped me from http://www.pocketpchow2.com/archive/2004_11_14_index.html
Update: Using Gmail from Pocket PCs
Earlier I had written here about how Google has started providing POP access for their Gmail email service. This week my account was enabled for POP access, and since then I had been trying to get it working with my Pocket PC. My efforts had been stymied by an error stating that email could not be downloaded to my mobile device. Today thanks to some assistance from Ed Hansberry got it to work. The trick is to enable POP only for new mail rather than for all mail.
If you have a Gmail account and want to access it using your Pocket PC, here is the information that you need:
Your userid and password is the same as what you use to access Gmail via a web browser
The incoming mail server name is pop.gmail.com
The outgoing mail server name is smtp.gmail.com
You need to configure the account so that the Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
The account also requires an SSL connection
If you read Google's instructions for setting up an account you will notice that they specify port numbers for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The numbers they provide are the standard port numbers for SSL access, so all you need to do is configure the Pocket PC account to use SSL.
You specify the authentication and SSL connection information on the 2nd account options screen. To access that screen tap Options on the fourth E-mail Setup screen and tap Next to display the Options (2/3) screen.
Since Gmail is free and provides 1 GB of online storage for email, it is a very useful email service. What makes it even better for Pocket PC users is that it requires SSL, which encrypts all your email as it travels between your Pocket PC and Gmail's servers. Keep in mind that when you use regular email servers that don't use SSL via a wireless connection, your email is floating through the airwaves in clear text. That means that anyone with the ability to capture wireless traffic can see the contents of your email. I highly recommend that since most people access email via wireless connections today, they use some form of encryption, whether that is provided by VPN or SSL.
Hi there,
I've tried searching for this but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I want to be able to download all my hotmail emails to my HTC Touch HD, but currently theres a limit to 50 on my hotmail account.
Is there anyway of doing this? I'm sure I used to be able to do it on a previous version of windows mobile but can't seem to now. It seems so bizaare that you can't, as I often want to go back to old emails, and don't always want to go through the web to get these.
Maybe there's a better email application, or even outlook for windows mobile which I could use?
Thanks for any help,
Tom
try setting up your email account using Outlook Mobile's POP3 settings (pop3.live.com / smtp.live.com). during the setup process don't use the real email address @hotmail, or @msn or @live, use @hotmaill, @msnn or @livee. once you've completed the setup you can go back to change to the correct email account name. the only downside is you lose the push feature. your phone will poll your email account based on the interval you select during setup. i'm using this setup for my MSN account, where email arrives every 5 minutes duirng the day and every 30 minutes in the evenings.
Thanks mate, thats perfect. Don't need to have push email anyway.
Cheers, Tom

Hotmail account on HD
Hi all,
Anyway of getting my hotmail account to go through the Outlook on the phone, WITHOUT having my account on Messenger?
It seems you can only have one account setup on messenger, as as my messenger account.
Now when you setup messenger using a hotmail account, you have the option to get all emails going through the outlook, and download to the phone as normal.
BUT I dont use a hotmail account for my messenger, and my main email accoutn is a hotmail account... hope this doesnt confuse you! But my messenger is a "dead account" and any emails sent to that email go no where.
So If i try setup my hotmail account in the outlook, put in all the setting like email address, password ect, it just takes me to hotmail.com on my Opera browser, but does not save the settings in outlook?
Sorry for confusion!
Not sure I've followed you correctly.
I also don't use messenger but I do have hotmail on my device in emails tab. I used Windows Live to set it up which is on most HD roms. Once you've gone through process of setting up and sync'ing your hotmail account will appear in emails tab like any other email account
Ah yeah, but the problem is, Windows Live just like messenger only lets you have one accoutn setup at once.
So I set my hotmail up with windows live, my emails appear. Thats good.
But then it also sets Messenger up, with the hotmail account, which I dont want, if you get me?
you might be able to setup multiple hotmail accounts using the method listed here. i use this to access 2 msn accounts and 1 live account. not push, but works just as well.

I've merged both these threads due to their simularity
i have found that if i need to access my gmail account using POP3 client, i need to prepend my username with the recent tag
ie) recent:[email protected]
However, i am puzzled by what does the POP3 client communicate with the server when a recent: is used. POP3 standard does not have anything to do with the recent: prefix. Hence my doubts are:
1) Is it that gmail's POP3 server is customized to handle this type of login ?.i.e.) The gmail's POP3 server would allow multiple POP3 connection when a user logs in with recent:[email protected]
2) How is it that when recent: is prefixed, the client is able to download emails received during the last 30 days only? [It is a coool feature since i dont have to download all my old emails to my mobile]
3) Is this applicable for the IMAP account also?
4) Any other server that support this recent: prefix to the username?
Thankyou in advance for ur support.

I'm trying to setup the phone for my wife and trying to add all of her emails.
I added her gmail account without a problem, same with her hotmail and right after I wrote email address and password it recognized it and added both without a problem.
But I'm having problem with an emial address my wife has from work, I think it's hosted on gmail but the email address is in this format [email protected] right after i enter email and password it doesn't add it automatically but rather goes to selection of pop3 or exchange or imap, and after that all the other settings like pop server and port, etc.
I checked her iphone and that's what I can find how the account was setup there....
Description - Gmail
SMTP - smtp.gmail.com
Server port - 993
Use SSL - On
Why don't you add it as a gmail / Google account?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm installed cm 12, but I have a non gmail domain google account (the domain is postafiok.hu, same as gmail.com , but it is in hungaryan).
When I try to add this google account I can't enter the email adress and the password, like on JB, kitkat, I can enter only the email adress, after that it drops out the postafiok.hu login website, after the login it shows my emails, like on computer but doesnt' add account in settings. If I go back, the page was came out where I can enter only email adress.
Are there any method to add this google account to settings?
