Some questions about gmail and WM5... (plaese!)

Hi guys!
Yesterday I try using gmail account on my pocket outlook (i-mate Jamin with WM5!)... it works fine but I have some questions:
Usually I read my mails (gmail) with the gmail site from my office pc (can't use outlook in office... sogh!). I'd like to configure gmail and my Jamin in order to can read my mail when I'm out of office... near an hotspot for example or connecting via EDGE or connecting on LAN...
Is it possible to configure gmail to chenge the status of the mail I read via pop3? I'd like to see "as read" the mails I download via pop3 on my Jamin.
Is it possible to retrieve via pop, on my Jamin, only the unread mails? If I don'd connect my Jamin to internet for a month, for example, I don'e want to receive all the mails that I just read from my office via the gmail site.
I create new account for gmail on my Jmain message because I can't modify std outlook mail account as gmail... is it the right way? Why I can'd delete or modify the outlook account? Now I have: SMS, MMS, GMAIL and Outlook but I can't understand the outlooc account reason...

Gmail
Hi Mark
As I understand it Outlook on the Jamin is just for sync ith a PC.
The 'gmail' account is for that email acc only.
Double check the following is correct and should solves your various problems:
Go to messages, menu, tools, options. Click on 'gmail'.
Email: [email protected]
Your name: First Last
Username: [email protected]
Password: password
Account Information:
Account Type: Pop3
Name: GMail
Incoming Mail: pop.googlemail.com
Outgoing mail: smtp.googlemail.com
Domain: (leave blank)
Options
These are fairly standard, but check your connection is 'The Internet' and hit next and that SSL is ticked.
Re-reading your post it seems like you have done this already!! (Duh)
OK - easy part - goto your gmail account on a desktop PC (or if you are being smart on your pocket PC!) mail.google.com.
Goto Settings and then Forwarding and pop3 settings there should be an option called POP download - mark the radio button that says "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on".
Should do it!

I do it! Thanks!

Hotmail help.

I already search the forum but I can't find a answer. When I setup my hotmail account it redirects me to the mobile site of hotmail using opera.
Before I flashed my HD I received my mail in touchflo the way I want it.
I already asked the rom cook but he is taking a break.
So anyone know how to fix this? I want my mail in touchflo and not using the browser.

Just open Messenger.
Fill in your username and password.
When asked, select the "sync e-mail".
This wil create all the needed settings, so your e-mail account is configured within touchflo
grtz,
Degake

You are the best, worked like a charm
thank you.

I would like to have that too but I already assigned myself to msn and so I dont get that option anymore.
And I cant find it in the options menu of msn messenger
any one got an idea?

I also have a problem with hotmail. after entering my details in the touch flo tab,a new msn window appears briefly then just goes back to a No Account tab. Any ideas pls?

Hotmail and others
If I've understood you correctly do this...
When you enter your email address enter a fake one for eg. [email protected] to avoid the auto-setup. On next screen untick the "try to get email settings automatically from the internet". On next screen choose "internet email" and carry on adding the POP3 settings for your email provider. That worked for Hotmail and Yahoo and should work for anything as long as the provider is pop3 enabled.

But normal hotmail doesnt support pop3 right?
U have to buy a hotmail ID for it ?

no the hotmail recently announced they now support pop. settings are as follows:
Incoming: pop3.live.com
outgoing: smtp.live.com
Username: [email protected] (make sure you include @Hotmail.com)
outgoing server requires SSL security, so make sure you check that
good luck

HD2 WP7 Activesync

This may be old news but - if you're hesitant about activating your HD2 but still want to sync with windows live - you can use the hotmail-activesync server settings (m.hotmail.com) to access and sync your email(+push), contact and calendar.

Mate thats spot on. Just done that on my phone and it worked straightaway!
Many thanks for the suggestions, greatly appreciated

No problem. If you can live without the market place then this gives you the rest of the live services.
I'll activate once i know what MS decide to do, if anything.....

hmmm so how do i do this? will this sync word docos etc

KrewsialNL: Thanks for adding the link.
rainsey: No not word docs just your calendars, contacts and email (incl push). For documents you could just email them to your hotmail account on your pc? not quite syncing but it will get the file on your handset without too much fuss.

I have a sharepoint 2010 account except the server uses basic authentication and i can't use the url to list the docs i use. I can assess them via webpage list for my docs but this is annoying it would of been nice to have the list maintained on WP7 or have sync like wm6.x.
Hotmail and skydrive is not the sync that i want to use or trust

I went to "Advanced Setup" under "Add an Account" and tried the following settings:
email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: <blank>
It won't let me click sign in with a blank domain so I assume that you just put a couple of random letters in there.
Then it keeps saying that the account information is incorrect, I've checked it 3 timees to make sure. Any ideas?

Nearly.... when you first set the account up put a couple of random characters in the domain field so you can complete the set up (the button to finish is not available until something is entered for the domain).
Once you've completed the set-up try syncing. It will fail and say theres an error with the account settings. but.... you're then offered a chance to change your username and password or modify the the advance settings.
Now if you go into the advanced settings you can delete the entry for the domain so it is completely blank - except this this time the option to complete the settings can be selected.
That should work

check your smtp settings
When you are entering the email account, please use manual configuration. I use ATT-yahoo and the configuration of the servers are as follows:
pop: pop.att.yahoo.com (this is incoming)
smtp: smtp.att.yahoo.com (this is outgoing, where you problem seems to be)
both are security type: none (in both cases username and password is used)
Good luck

I tried but still not working " cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding".
believe me I tried many variations and nothing worked

verify account information is good.
I do not know the extension for Rumania, but should be something like this:
1) configure the e-mail manually and use type pop
2) Once you enter you see protocol (pop)
3) e-mail (your complete email. [email protected]er contry extension I think "ru" (without apostrophes)
4) username (same with the @ yahoo.ru)
5) pop server: pop.mail.yahoo.com.ru
6) security type : None
7) server port: 110
on smtp:
1) check login required
2) username (same as in pop your [email protected]
3) smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.ru
4) security type: none
5) server port 25
Note in the US is without the ru at the end.
This should work. If it doesn't the problem is in your username or password

I tried but still not working. what problem could be from my username or password?
If using another email account works without problems.

Same problem here. i tried everything, stil not working

I realized the problem is coming or from yahoo servers or from htc because if i trying another mail account is working very well with nativ mail only with my main account i have problem and another thing the yahoo mail app from market it working very well with all my account including the main account. :-(

anyone find a fix? Yahoo & gmail NEVER notify or load new e-mails (stock mail app)...

Set up outlook in the android default email app?

Has anyone had success trying to set up their outlook account with the stock email app ? How did you do it

By outlook do you mean exchange account? If so you need to open outlook and edit accounts. Copy settings into the mail account setup fields on N4. Its pretty straight forward.

By outlook i mean the "new" service microsoft rolled out as the sucessor of hotmail, I dont know if outlook its exchange, it should be since microsoft made it right? or maybe imap?

In the email app, enter your username/password, select exchange, and then on your comp log into your outlook account, then on the top right corner select options, then select 'see all options.'
Once you're there select 'Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access' a little window should pop up.
Back on the phone. What you do is enter your email again where it says username and password.
On the server blank field copy the server under 'pop setting' in the little window.
Then hit next and follow the directions after.

Shouldn't even need to do that. Once you type in your email address it should auto populate just like if you do an @live.com or @Hotmail.com. That's the autodiscover service on an Exchange server which is usually at https://autodiscover.outlook.com (or.live.com or whatever).

I fill out with my outlook address , then select exchange, and on the next screen it auto populates but when i press next it says username or password incorrect, and i'm sure its the right password :/

I only put exchange server and on server field I had to manually add mail. (at the beginning)

Don't manually click manual setup, just click next and the email client will run off to the autodiscovery server and get the proper settings.
I haven't tested it with Outlook.com emails but with Live.com it works just fine.
if you do manual it should be:
\[email protected]
password
the server can be a few different ones but generally m.hotmail.com
SSL should be enabled.

I put my username / password then exchange server, then it goes:
domain/user
server
(here I added at the beginning "mail.")

I'm talking about the website, did you select 'options' then 'see all options' ?

just do add account, fill in your account and password then click next. don't check manual.. it'll sort itself out. I did that just now with my hotmail account and it found the settings itself and just went ahead and set it up. don't choose exchange or corporate. just choose new account.

Maybe it works automatically for hotmail but not for outlook. trust me im not choosing manual settings i just fill out my mail and password and press continue and then it asks me which type of account it is :crying:

There's no "options" just the settings icon and then when i press it, all that resembles see all options is "more mail settings" and inside "more mail settings" there's no "'Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access'" option

hmm that is weird. I just found this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/outlook-to-go#1TC=t1 and under android it has either.. get the hotmail app or visit the website. that doesn't seem to suggest there are some settings does it? weird. I hope it is supported natively as that sucks if not.
not a heck of a lot of help from me on this sorry, but good luck.. sure there must be a work around

I set it up the following way by manual:
Domain\Username: \[email protected]
Password: obvious
Server: col-m.hotmail.com
Use secure connection (SSL): Mark
Accept all SSL certificates: Not marked
Client certificate: None
Port: 443
For an MSN account which I used with my own domain (not live.com, hotmail.com or outlook.com email)
Here I have as server: bay-m.hotmail.com
Hope it helps

You could also try changing the server adress to "snt-m.hotmail.com". Worked for me.

Thanks, this worked for me also.
Update: It worked on my Motorola razr xt910, running Android 4.0.4, but the setup isn't working on my Cube U9GT2 tablet running Android 4.1.1. I tried most everything else suggested here on the Cube, and nothing has worked so far. I don't know how significant the ICS vs JB is, but the problem also could be related to the obscure Renegade rom I am running on the Cube tablet.

These also work fine with an outlook.com address...
Incoming settings:
username: emailaddress @ outlook . com
password: your password
pop3 server: pop3.live.com
port: 995
security type: SSL/TLS
Delete email from server: never
Outgoing Settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security Type: STARTTLS
Require Sign-in: YES
Username: same as username above
Password: same as above

Why has no one answered the question directly yet? As from what I've played with, I can't figure how to make it the default mail app on your phone. It would be nice to be able to use one, easy mail service for ALL your emails rather than the stock email service, gmail, ymail app, and be limited in those apps. I know what you're saying, but it doesn't sound like anyone else in the comment thread does.
