Hi, i am new to this forum. I am trying to get my gmail acct sync. But when i turn on my EDGE, i am able to surf on the internet, but i receive a msg on Error Sync. then i receive 0 msg. I set up the email acct like entering the username and password. didn't go through the POP3 stuff like that? Is that the reason? Or is there another software like outlook can do a better job at send & receiving emails? thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
Have you enabled Pop in your gmail account settings?
If you just want to have pop access it should auto-configure itself.
If you are trying to configure imap you may have to trick it into letting you at the settings. (At least I did).
Pop3 settings:

Well first of all, if you are trying to "sync" your gmail account, then POP3 isn't the answer. So if that's what you are really going for, then you should read this:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886
i still receive the same error message, what should i do? i am sure i have my EDGE turned on, and i am able to surf the net. So i don't think is my internet connection's problem, however, i still receive the error msg "Cannot connect with current connection settings, to change your connection settings, tap settings" This is what i received. does anyone know what i should do to fix it? thanks

I've tried the seraches, but no cigar...
A strange problem, I've set up my Gmail IMAP account, but when I try to send/receive, it gets stuck on "connecting..." (in the bottom right of the screen), then after about 2 minutes, it times out saying "Messages cannot be downloaded to your device..."
I'm able to connect via wifi flawlessly, so I'm thinking it may be a problem with my carrier (o2 uk)? I can access the internet fine, i can even go onto gmail.com and sign in from there, so I'm really confused...
My settings are as follows:
ROM: Dutty's 6.1
Radio: 1.58.16.27
WAP/GPRS settings:
o2 WAP
Cellular Line (GPRS, 3g)
payandgo.o2.co.uk
I've followed the gmail IMAP setup, checking for any spelling mistakes etc. But I don't think my problem is here, cos I also had this problem when gmail was setup for POP3.
Any help would be appreciated guys/gals.
I'm in the same boat but of a different size. I'm running Dutty's WM6.1 5.2.19199 with radio 1.58.16.27. When i flashed to this rom I hard reset before and after flash and begain to set up my device as normal. When i got to the email portion and set up my gmail accounts and tried to send/receive it does not even try to connect and gives me an error synchronizing. a few seconds afterwards a cannot connect bubble pops up and tells me to change my connection settings. I ran the connection setup that came with the rom and then double checked the settings and they appear no different than before when i could sync with gmail. I can connect to the internet just fine. I have searched(and used the search feature) but have found no answers.
Disregard.
Disregard my post above. Sometimes I'm just stupid.

When I had issues with my Sending and Receiving of Email I had to take off any proxies in my 3G Connection.
I had the same error message appear after setting up Gmail IMAP, it turned out to be a spelling error! Now it's working, I can send/recieve fine. Having said that, I can't get Gmail to download any folder content, it only downloads the inbox. I mean, the folders are shown, but there's nothing ever in them. Any ideas?
Off topic slightly, when people send mail through gmail have they notice gmail produces 2 sent messages for the 1 email.
1 has your email the other is blank?

I also notice 2 email, but both are ok (none is blank).
do you use another account using exchange server??
I have a different issue with gmail maybe someone can help me out. I have two gmail accounts set up and they send and recieve fine the only problem is that the next time is sends/recieves it deletes the previous mail that was there and only downloads new ones. Is there a way to keep all email in my inbox or does it always erase previously downloaded mail and just display new ones. I have it set up to Automatic Send/Receive every 30 minutes and to download All Messages...TIA...

I just wanted to thank you for this input. I was really getting frustrated with my first ROM Flash because I couldn't get my gmail to sync. Now its working but I now need to imap configured because it looks like its configured to POP3 automatically. Either way thanks JimmyMcGee
When trying to set up my Diamond to download my mail from btinternet.com, it uses the wizard to find the account type etc. However it set's it up as an IMAP4 account type which it is not, it is a pop3 account. According to the help on the phone there is supposed to be a check box saying "Attempt to obtain e-mail settings from the internet" which if unchecked would mean these settings could be inputted manually, this is not the case. This results in a synch error when sending and receiving. It is not possible to change the account type when I go into email setup, it's greyed out!
I am using tlr-diamond-2.08.07.01 rom and have advanced config installed.
Sorry for rambling on, my question is, is there any way of turning off the wizard via a registry fix or any way to give the phone the correct settings for btinternet?
Thanks in advance for any replies, I've tried searching but to no avail
This drove me mad too.....
When it asks for your email address, type something like [email protected]
It then bring up the checkbox, disable the auto get setting
complete the setup and then edit it
POP3 mail.btinternet.com
SMTP mail.btinternet.com
dont forget to change your username, password and email address
Fixed (or fudged)

Thankyou Rik
Cheers you're a diamond
That was driving me crazy.
Thankyou

smtp has stopped working on Internet Mail
I have configured Internet Mail (POP3 and SMTP), but suddenly the sending has stopped after working perfectly for two days.
I have reconfigured another account with the same settings, deleted the old email account, and it worked for a day and then the same problem arose. Has anyone else faced this problem? Can anyone figure what's happening?
Thanks in anticipation,
Ajit
I can't send e-mail from one of my e-mail accounts on the phone. The only thing I think that might be an issue is I can't turn off the option "Use the same user name and password for sending e-mail" on the "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:" screen - it is greyed out with the box checked. Is there a way I can uncheck it. I tried deleting the e-mail account and re-entering all the information, but that didn't help. Thanks.
Dunno if it helps but I 'think' it logs into the account and checks is there's any incoming mail ... before it will send. On some testing I did, if the account didn't exist, the email wouldn't send.
DRZ400 - Thanks for the reply. It does seem to check for incoming mail first. We use two different servers - one for incoming and one for outgoing mail. When I try to send I get the message "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
Another interesting thing I've noticed. This e-mail account is used by Outlook on the PC. When I sync to the PC (even though I don't have e-mail set up to sync), the e-mail that I created on the cell phone gets sent.
A Lot of the carriers require you use their unsecure smtp server for sending mail. Example: AT&T's is cwmx.com
So, check your cell carriers preferences, not your ISPs mail settings for smtp.
Need more input...
Exactly - UnHolyOne - that is what I think my problem is. I can NOT uncheck the section to use the same user name and password to send messages (as to receive them). I believe my provider does not want a user name and password and therefore I can't get access because I'm trying to log in. At least that is the only thing I can think of so far. (I tried using smtp.cwmx.com for my outgoing e-mail and that didn't work either.)

it's not smtp.cwmx.com, it's just cwmx.com. No www., no smtp, nothing else. No username and password. Try that. It's not the greatest, and it's not secure if that's an issue with your business or anything, but it works if you are on AT&T.
That did it!
BlowFish64 (and UnHolyOne) - THANKS - That did it - I works now. I really appreciate it. (I shouldn't have assumed it needed the smtp. in front of it).
Hi guys. I got a bit of an unusual problem.
I got an email account which is programmed to automatically forward all emails that come in to my gmail account. My gmail account is synchronised with my phone using active sync.
Now for some reason, my xperia (outlook) cannot show the content of the emails that I get forwarded to my gmail account. Its really weird. So to clarify, whenever I receive an email on this other account of mine, it is automatically forwarded to my gmail account which comes up on my phone. On my xperia then, I can see that I received a message, I can see the subject of the message, however I cannot see the actual text. If the message comes with an attachment, I can use and open the attachment but again, I cannot read the actual message.
I have tried a couple of things before I decided to post here. The first thing I tried is to change my active sync settings from receiving messages in "plain text" to "html" - didnt help. I have also made sure to tell active sync to always download the "whole message" and not just parts of it - didnt help.
Then I reconfigured the server so I that it automatically forwards the emails to my yahoo account (instead of my gmail account) - didnt help, on yahoo I had the same problem.
Interestingly, when I access gmail on my computer and forward one of these emails that the xperia cannot read from my gmail to my yahoo account and then access the email from my xperia on the yahoo account - it works.
Has anybody any ideas what the reason could be? To clarify right away, I cannot access my other email account directly from the xperia. It needs to be done via this "forward messages automatically" rule.
I would be appreciate any help.

no ideas anyone? I really need to get this sorted somehow. Sorry for unnecessary post but I cant let this thread disappear without an answer.
Hello,
I’ve been using the phone for few days now and I’m having some problems with my e-mail. I have configured three e-mails accounts, 1 Gmail and two pop 3 mails.
The deal is that whenever I use the e-mail app I can check new e-mails, but I can’t see the old messages (the one I read before). Also, alter seeing the messages in the SGS the messages disappear from the phone AND from my e-mail server. I already checked the configuration and I have selected “Never” in the “Delete e-mail from the server” in the “Incoming server settings” of both accounts but it looks like as soon as the e-mail apps access my account it actually deletes the message from the server.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks
Do they disappear immediately?
Are you sure you don't check them elsewhere (standalone computer) where they ARE removed from the server?
Don't have that issue here, only once I check them on my home computer they are removed from the server and my phone.
I'm sure. I was traveling, and the only way to chck my e-mail was using the phone. When I got home I tried to download the messages in the outlook and no messages were downloaded. Than I tried to acess the messages using webmail and again I couldn't fine the messages. They just disappeared.
Tried again with the same results. I read the messages on the SGS and 10 seconds later the message disappears from the phone and from the server (I tried to read the messages using a Webmail page and there is no message in the inbox).
Looks like a Bug, but it's strange that I'm the only one that is experiencing this issue. I recall that I had a similar issue with my Archos, but I thought it was a problem with Android 1.6. It may be a issue with my e-mail account but it is just a simple pop 3 account. I see no reason why it would behave like that.
pop3 email vanishes
I am having the same type problem with my samsung vibrant.I set up a pop3 account using my cable account. I can send and receive mail but my mail vanishes from the inbox. It does stay on the server luckily. Nobody at tmobil or samsung has a solution except to use k9 but it happens on it also/ So they blame isp which makes no sense since it arrives. Very frustrating
