Hello,
I am new to this forum and not much of a technology wizz....
I am trying to set up my googlemail account on my diamond, I tried the settings that are automatically installed (just by entering username and password) and then I also tried the settings manually that the google website gave.
My provider is Vodafone Germany and the diamond is branded.
SoI went to my Vodafone shop where they were very helpful in trying to set the account up for me AGAIN!!!
Well, it is NOT working!!!!
I keep getting an error message saying that the mail cannot be downloaded to my device and that I need to re-check my settings...????
Can anyone help me,....very slowly - Please?!
Thanks in advance

Have you enabled POP\IMAP forwarding on your account? You need to do this on a computer. Log in, click Settings, Forwarding and POP\IMAP, the enable option is at the bottom of this page...

Hello,
Anyone any idea what is wrong?
I just got my Diamond.
I use vodafone.
and i think i have everything set up correct.
i can go on the internet, watch youtube, see the weather.
Butttt.. when i try to send/recieve my email from gmail, it say that it cant connect with the current connection settings.
What could i be doing wrong?
i use IMAP and checked the settings on the gmail help site.
Thank you..
don't use IMAP.I set it up by just giving my gmail account user name and password and it receives the emails from my gmail inbox

It depends on whether you've activated IMAP in your Gmail and you should not let the phone auto detect your email settings- do it manually.
One other cause may be a proxy on your connection. When I first ran the auto operator setup, my POP3 email didnt work until I removed the proxy (still don't understand why)

It's best if you delete the account and then create a new one. When you create a new account, the first screen asks for your email address and password and then the second screen asks you if it should try and detect the settings automatically. THAT's where you need to uncheck it so you can enter your settings in manually on the following page.

Thats what i thought..
problem is..... the option is not presented...
it says:
Settings are found for gmail.com
press next to complete the set up and to download email.
but there is no box to check or uncheck
Problem fixed!!!
I was looking for the proxy like mentiond above...
I disabled it.
Now it works!!!
Thanks for the help guys!

You're right
I just tried to add a Gmail account and the same thing happened...
Glad the proxy thing helped. It drove me nuts in the beginning.

if your want to use gmail imap, you have to enter an incorrect email address first ([email protected]) and then edit it after, also I recommend using http://www.mobipush.com/ (push email) set to download your emails every 10-15 mins, you will get incredible battery life

Not true., it sets up as IMAP automatically.
And turn off vodafone proxy, and after setting up account, go to accountsettings again, and at last page under keyboard is 'advanced options', be sure it shows the right connection to be used !!
Downloading schedule can be set up in outlook mobile, and turn off push
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)
Rik
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
Hi have seena couple of posts but with no solution.
My problem is whenever i go to check my googlemail through my home wifi on my diamond all it does it pop up with the incoming email password screen and thats all.
when this was set up originally there was no problems and have done no upgrades or flashing since this.
i have installed diamond tweaks and advanved config manager but cant see anything within these that would stop me .
Have logged in to google mail on desktop pc and changed my password to elimate password name problems but still no joy.
ANY IDEA GUYS??? im stumped.
p.s obviousli i have delted acount on numeros occasions and rsoft reset then rre added account and used auto detection account setup and done it the manual way.
am on swiftys 5.6rom
mine works fine,
it auto detects settings after i write the email address and press next..
i have v6 swiftblade rom
gmail not working
It has been treated a few times in those forums
It's a WM bug
Only work around :
Delete the gmail account on your diamond and create a new one with a DIFFERENT name (gmail01, gmail02...)
I had the same problem and this is the only way i could solved it...
Thanks guys but i just sorted it.
IF anyone has this problem then this is what you must do . Login to your google mail from a desktop or laptop and enter your settings.
click configure outlook (even though your not using outlook ) then there a common issues tab near the top of the screen.
The first one in the list is "Repeatedly prompted for your username and password or 'invalid credentials' error."
To sort this you must hit the " Clear the captcha "tab .
Then connect via you phone wirelessly abd do the same .
(personally i didnt ave to do it on my phone as it cleared the problem straight away) but it does say to do this on the device your having trouble logging in on .
Definitely sorted it as i have done nothing else that could take credit for it working and it hasnt been working for ages .
cheers hope this helps

I'm in my settings in Gmail, and I'm in the common issues, but I can't seem to find the "Repeatedly prompted for your username and password or 'invalid credentials' error."
Do it from your pc . log into gmail and up top right hit settings. then click pop /imap forwarding then under each section there is an underlined configure client or configure outlook tab. if your in the section where you switch on pop and imap your in the right place.

Thanks for the info, I found the configure outlook, but I can't find the problem in the "common issues"
What do you mean by "Clear the captcha" tab? do you mean cache?
when you have clicked configure instructions and the next screen comes up click outlook express.another screen comes up and fourth tab along it says common errors. click that then click first in the list which is
Repeatedly prompted for your username and password or 'invalid credentials' error.
A little drop down appears with a tab to clear captcha. click that let it do its thing . should do the trick for ya

Thanks again coopigeon! I really found it now
Unfortunately, clearing the captcha didn't work for me...
I guess I'll have to find another way. But thanks for helping me out!
hang on a sec , did you do it from your phone also? .connect worelessly use your phone browser and do the same. plus when you have done that ,reset the email account on your phone.

Sorry mate, I've done it on my phone also... delete captcha, resetted my gmail account, everything. Still get the white screen with google in upper left corner.
But I'm glad it worked for you
Hello sonnybravo
After reading this thread I thought I'd sign in to my gmail account (I don't use it much, but thought it would be a useful backup to my pop when I'm out and about). Anyway, I get the same issue as you; the blank white screen with 'Google' in the top left hand corner.
Not exactly an emergency for me, but if you do get to the bottom of it, I'd appreciate a shout.

Hi, i just update my Xperia X1 with the new R3A update, and all seems to be fine, until i try to configure mi Hotmail account in the e-mail services.
It seems to find the configuration for the Hotmail account, but when i finish the configuration process, the Opera Mini gets open and reddirects me to the mobile Windows Live site.
Does anyone had this same issue?
Thanks a lot!

I've always had trouble with inputting settings for the email service for Hotmail, but windows live usually does the trick for me. Have you tried the windows live app that comes with the phone?
Hi Sfkn2!
I usually use the e-mail app for all my e-mail accounts, POP3, Gmail and Hotmail. Just today it starts not working.
Maybe it's a Windows strategy for us beginning using more the Windows Live App.
I notice a few minutes ago that Opera is the predeterminated browser now.
Weird....
No idea what happened but I am experiencing the same problem. I would rather do the send/receive thing then open up opera to view my hotmail. any fixes for this?
Didn't had the problem. But you can try windows live to configure you're hotmail.

hi.
So where do I go exactly to configure this? I can't find it when I re-directed to mobiles.live.com via Opera.
I just want it so I can download my hotmail messages directly to the phone via clicking on send/receive. There must be a fix for this.
Download and USE Windows Live Panel!

My question is why is this only happening on the r3 rom when it didn't happen on the rom1 or rom2 ?
Just config it manually.
First, create an account with some unknown email address such as [email protected] (we will change back later) then edit account settings and use these parameters.
Incoming mail server : pop3.live.com
User name: Your FULL email address ex. [email protected]
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server : smtp.live.com
Check those 2 boxes. (require authentication & same username)
Click Advance server settings. Check another 2 boxes.
Done.
thx kanthai, this method worked for me perfectly..
Thanks man!
updating windows live does the trick, the R3A rom does not include the latest build
how do you update windows live??
also would the push email work with these setting as ive never managed to get that working?

I can't seem to send emails now with the above settings. I can however still download emails to my phone. It was working fine a few months ago.
I get the error "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network courage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again"
Any ideas why?
Solution found
Guys, I have found a solution after almost one week frustrating, I got same issue as suddenly my hotmail account disappeared. When ever I tried to add account in email wizard, it was redirecting to opera with mail.live.com. I spent so many hours on XDA and many other forums but was unable to fix this. Right now just 5 minutes ago, by playing here and there, I found a solution, I have successfully added my hotmail account and it working 100% perfect. Not sure if it was a particular fix only.. but I will highly recommend to who ever have had this issue, try these steps.....
Go to Start menu, programs....
Click on Windows Live.... ( note, its "Windows Live" icon, no email or live messenger etc....
Now you are on windows live desktop, windows search box is at top of page.
Click on right bottom corner, "menu" and choose "Account Option"
Choose first option..... "Clear Password" .. done?
Choose second option, "Switch Windows Live ID"
Wait for a while and wizard will bring you to windows "Sign in" page....
Just close this page and you are done....
Go back to your "Email Wizard" and add new account as hotmail....
You will able to add hotmail account without any problem.
This is what worked for me after one week almost trying every thing. I am on X1i using Touch IT Leo 11. Please leave comments if it work for you. Good luck to all.
I never bought the sony phone before, this is my first time. When i set up the hotmail , it will show can not connect the server. I have never seen any other samsung phones has this problems. Please help me , thx.

Its something to do with hotmail, I got round it by; settings - add account - corporate - and then fill it in should work if not you'll have to mess with the manual settings for the pop server any issues let me know.
