somehow I cannot complete the process to add another mail account
Ive added gmail, now I wanted to add my school email account but it will not go any further then step 4/5, no matter what I try. I am not connected to the internet, which supposedly is good (the help file says so)
anyone run into this problem?
I have two pop accounts installed on my Jam, works no prob. there is a page when configuring the accounts the has Account information account type POP3 and by default has Name as POP3...have you been changing the names? because it will probably cause a problem having two accounts named POP3. I call my account Yahoo and Uni mail and have never had a problem.

I ve tried the gmail account, unfortunatelly it wont worked on my MDA, I dont really know about the configuration. So anybody can help me with this?
Thank you.. :lol:
Im trying to setup my email accnts and when going to advanced options there is an option that when the email is retrieved you can either:
Gmail Accnt:
1. Delete off the server or 2. Move it the trashcan.
I would like to know on some ROMS you can leave the mail on the server..and thats what I would like to do.
How can this be done since I only get the above two options???
Thanks for any input/suggestions.

are you using POP3 or IMAP?

Honestly it doesnt give me that option as well. I presume POP3. When I put in the address and password, the software automagically sets the settings for Gmail.

what you need to do is mistype your email address at the beginning of creating the link from to gmail - ie [email protected] - then click the box that says "set up my email manually" - then put in all the data for IMAP for gmail.
All is well after that

Thank YOU!!!!!!! Worked perfectly!!
Can someone please give me some simple instructions on how to set up googlemail push. I have googlemail set up and email frequency box is set at 5 minutes, it gives no option for push. I have not found the option to sync contacts etc. Maybe I am having another senior moment!! Thank you.
Check out the beta section on google sync website -That should give you the info you need. I have not got it to work yet though.

if you create an new email account, don't select the gmail option. You need to create an active sync (exchange) connection... then you have push mail. instructions are indeed on the google sync beta page....
Many thanks, I will head over there now
in activesync app, type your gmail email and password, server is m.google.com ., go thru options for cal, contacts, and email, frequency, and peak times.

Now got the phone to push, new problem is that the notification sound does not work with it at present, could this have anything to do with still having the ordinary googlemail on the phone?? Do I need to remove it????
Getting in a mess here I deleted the original googlemail, now I have none.

dont think so. I prefer using activesync for google contacts and calendar, and setting up gmail but without push in the email inbox. You should get email noises, no matter if both are there. Go to home screen, settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds and notifications, tab sounds, scroll to new email and check options are ticked as needed.
I can't get the push to work despite having hard reset the phone a couple of times. ( now got to get my music and photo's back on)
Contacts not so bad as they will sync with myphone.
I think I am going to have to go back to normal google syncing every 5 minutes. unless someone has another solution.
Thanks for your help
it may be your network not allowing it. make sure proxy is off in connections (settings, all settings, connections, connections, manage , edit, proxy)

Network O2 , I have had push email with Hero and O2.

Thanks for all your help.

Can you maybe post a small howto on the setup (srver and client site)?
I think that this would help a lot of users who would like to have this!
If I use GMail, but use my own domain instead of @gmail.com, can I still do Push Email?

Your provider will need to support this.
It's NOT a normal thing they do.
Only "free" push providers that I know of are Gmail and Hotmail (live)

Sure!
This is what worked for me after lots of attempts.
I deleted the original IMAP googlemail account
Iwent to activesync
Put in my googlemail address ie [email protected]
Password xxxxxxx ignore tha fact that it then adds extra digits.
Save password
leave domain name blank
username will come up as santa, this needs changing to [email protected]
edit server will come up and this is m.google.com
Choose the data you want to sync
Choose schedule as items arrive
The forst sync I had to press send and receive thereafter it worked.
What was confusing me before was the fact that I had the phone charging in the computer as I set up, it would not sync until I unplugged it. After unplugging it only pushed new mail not the mail already on the server.
I hope this makes some sense I am very new to this.
Ok.. Looks easy. Did you set anything in your gmail account on the server?
Also. I'm not sure if thats your true e-mail address, but if so, and if you do not like spam, you better remove it from your post!
Lot's of spam bots WILL get your e-mail address, and use it for sending spam to you!
Ok I managed to get it working after a bit, but syncing still seems slow. Also when I send a message from the phone it shows up in my mail client inbox anyway to stop this happening.

did anybody try to send a mail with some attachment to your gmail push account? When i get the mail on my device, i can see the attachment, however, i cannot open it or save it. When i click on the attachment it says downloading... but still cannot open or save it? does it work for you guys?
does anyone know what the settings for push Gmail for the epic are? thanks
Care to elaborate? Emails from Gmail are automatically pushed to the Android Gmail application.
using k9, any special instructions for imap?

Nothing special. Input your details into K9 and it takes care of the rest. Very easy. I use K9 for Gmail and prefer it over the Gmail app.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Hotmail and Exchange using K9, I still don't think there is a solution for it. Stock Email app works fine with these new Exchange settings for Hotmail but doesn't do HTML, so it's useless. If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. I'd love to have all my email accounts consolidated into one in K9. Didn't mean to hijack this thread btw, getting Gmail to work in K9 is as simple as inputting your email and password, K9 will autoconfigure it.
I've had nothing but problems trying to setup hotmail as exchange vs regular pop3 in any email client so I just don't bother.
I have hotmail setup as pop3 in K-9 and I'm fine with it.
I cannot add my gmail to it. I like it better than the Gmail app. I get server error everytime. Just wondering if it was not meant to be used for gmail. I got hotmail on there successfully on the first try. Im not a noob at this either. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Can you add it manually by inputting the imap and smtp fields manually.

I'm trying to do push email not pop or imap.
Went through this problem this morning. Solution does not exist. Google ended exchange access in January. Sucks.

I installed both my Gmail and yahoo accounts with no problem? Could you perhaps have disabled some system app or service during debloating that is causing the problem?

I thought google decided to grandfather in support for push to those with older legacy accounts or does that only work for iOS users.
