Not sure why (probably something to do with the midlet maanger or J2ME version used) but the Gmail Java app works falwlessly with the Energy ROM for the Diamond (GSM version).
I couldn't get it to install with any other ROM (tried stock, Duttys, Tech Team, Gen Y, Dia Duit and many more). Kept getting 'file not associated to a programme' when trying to install the JAD or JAR file for the app.
Alternatively, just managed to get Gmail to sync using the messaging app native to Windows Mobile. The trick (thanks to another thread on XDA) was to make sure proxy settings were disabled for the data connection, and also to make sure SSL was selected for both incoming and outgoing mail. Beforehand I just kept getting "cannot connect with current settings" despite the fact that I could browse the web with no problems at all.
To help you decide which to use (native Messaging or Gmail JAVA app), the app seems to work faster (i.e. emails arrive on the phone quicker). The downside is the inconvenience (i.e. need to go to Programs, select the Gmail app shortcut, click refresh and then confirm that you want to make a data connection and then one more click to confirm whether you want to be asked to confirm each time you click something in the app, or if you want to use it uninterrupted until the next session). Bit of a faff IMHO.
For Java app to runs on WM, it needs Jbed - jJava midlet manager. Make sure your wm have it, if not install it first. Energy ROM comes wid jbed.

Greets,
I use Eudora on my main system, and would like to keep that as my master email program. During my work day, I use a program which does not impact the email on the server (so that it is still there when I get home). Many programs do this on the PC including MailWasher and Magic Mail Monitor.
I would like to be able to check my POP3 email accounts on my Tilt, but not affect the existence of the email on the server or change from Eudora.
Thanks!
The standard (preinstalled) Messaging program can do just that. When you configure your account make sure to select "Advanced Settings" and select "Keep them on the server".

You don't need to do so - unless you delete stuff by hand.
BTW, make sure you read my Mailer Bible in the Wiki; it thoroughly compares all mailer clients for Windows Mobile.

I have also been looking for a good email program. Whatever you do dont waste your time on Flexmail. Endless troubles. I have reverted to the built in email and messaging program which comes with WM6 untill something else comes up.
I am using an S730 since December 21st and after playing around I still have some issues unresolved, see if anyone has ideas.
1- How do I download multiple email account at the same time (manually) instead of having to open each account every time want to do this.
2- Bluetooth acts crazy sometimes, it take over my car stereo (Mercedes E-Class) by making the radio believe that it is making a call and mutes music, screen looks as if you were making a call but no call is made.
3- MEMORY, no matter what I do, SKTools or anything, memory does not let me use the camera. Only used it once, all other times it asks me to close programs even when none are open.
4- How do I input DNS, I have Wi-Fi conections that need me to input a DNS in order to pass through internet.
5- Windows Update never works.
Please coment and thanks for taking the time to read this.

3. There may be opened some unwanted processes on the background - close them using advanced task manager (which can handle processes - Celetask for example). Than just close processes like tmail, iexplore, rsshub...
4. Comm Manager -> WLAN Settings -> Connection Status -> IP Address -> Use specific IP address -> ... DNS
5. There are no available updates on Windows Update.
1) what do you mean? You want pocket outlook to not sync email for the mailboxes automatically, but want them to sync manually; but not do this from within pocket outlook? it can't be done without a program, and i've never seen one.
2) looking on the htc e-club, which has updates for the phones, a few other phones had strange bluetooth issues, and were issued updates. i'd say that htc is on the case, but give them a call anyway.
1. jdr1000 doesnt mean syncing mails with Outlook. When you set several email accounts in the messaging application you have to hit Send/Recieve and wait untit this operation is finished and then you can sync your next account. There is no Sync all option (as far I know). (At least there is Automatic Send/Recieve feature)
Thank you all for taking your time to help.
1- moneytoo is "on the money" that is what I want to do, it's like running 5 or 6 or X ammount of connections at the same time. It is one internet connectio after all.
2- I installed the fix for the vox and it happens 10% of the time.
3- Ok, I will look fo this.
4- How can I do this for a specific wi-fi connection and not for all of them, since this only happens when I am at work, all the other time it is ok if everything comes from the APs.
5- Ok. Thks

Hello! I'm new to this forum. Seeing as how most of my questions have been answered here from Google searches, I decided to join this forum.
I'm trying to install Gmail mobile from (m.google.com/mail) onto my Tilt running WM6.1. I'm not running any fancy ROM. Just the latest ROM found off the HTC website. During the install, I keep getting this error:
gmail.jad?dc=gwm?ver=v1.50.1193 cannot be found at this URL. -1 Please
contact your operator for more information.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!
requires java since that's a java file.get the midlet manager or other versions of that app
I already have a midlet manager, I think. I've got this installed on my PDA: "Emsertec Jbed Build ID: 20080428.2.1". If that isn't the right one, could you suggest a better one?
Anyone who has run into this problem able to help?
I just downloaded it with PIE.
Sorry, you're talking to a newbie here. What is PIE?
pocket internet explorer
I can download the "gmail.jad" file. But I cannot install it. I get the error included in my first post.
open the java machine and then point it at the .jar file.
I did and that is the error I received during install.
try this. I had the same problem as you and this worked...
Install the JBed3dMod_RU_FIX.zip file Java Midlet Manager from this post.
Then, install the Gmail app to the jbed you just installed.
Thank you, it worked! But I don't see a Gmail icon anywhere. I have to launch the new "JBed3dMod.." app and then from there launch Gmail. Is there a way to launch the Gmail app directly?
And what is this "JBed3dMod.." app?

If you have problems creating the shortcut, the easiers way to do it is on your ppc using total commander. create the text file containing your shortcut parameters and save it as gmail.txt then rename gmail.txt as gmail.lnk and copy the shortcut to windows\start menu\program files
it will then show up in your program files and you can even assign it to a button if you like

That is the new Java app/midlet manager that you installed that allows the Gmail java app to work.

yep.
try putting this code in a .lnk file:
Code:
1#"\Program Files\Jbed3DModTest\JBed.exe", -run s0_
"run s0" is the command for the application number if you have more than one java aplication you will have to find out which number yours is (they should be ordered from top to bottum starting from zero on...)
and although it shouldn't matter to much on this because it isn't a long code 1# should really be 48# that number desribes how many characters are in the action you want to preform
Thank you! I created the shortcut, though the instructions weren't exactly correct for my situations. After fiddling around I got the shortcut working.
I noticed it uses the same icon as the "JBed3dMod.." app. This might be asking for too much, but is there a way I could assign a different icon for my newly created shortcut?
icons...
This is a relatively hard topic to find & understand from this forum. But through a bit of patience, it can be done.
Here you can read how to change icons for folders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339405&highlight=icons
For icons for individual files, like the Gmail .lnk file I sort of learned by myself (read ^ that thread first):
Select an icon from your .dll
Select a setting or program to link to
Then, simply create a .lnk file that is structured like this example [ex. for Gmail]:
Code:
1#"\Program Files\Jbed3DModTest\JBed.exe", -run s0_,17?\Windows\custicons.dll,-186
again, it takes some practice + patience.
Why not just use the built-in e-mail client?
Why even bother with the java applet?
I just use the Pocket Outlook (or whatever the default messaging / SMS / e-mail app is) and set it up for IMAP with GMail's servers:
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
Incoming server: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing server requires authentication: Yep
Require SSL for Incoming e-mail: Yarr
Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail: Aye
Account Type: IMAP4
Use the default settings for all the other options, if you wish..
Then, if you want to do the GMail "Archive" action:
..move the message to the "All Mail" folder
If you want to do the GMail "Report Spam" action:
..move the message to the "Spam" folder
No fun GChat stuff here, but otherwise gets the basic job done.. No download or JVM needed
Hope this helps someone! Also, this could apply to any E-mail client (as long as it supports IMAP4) and not just M$PO.

Thanks for the information on the icons. I guess that's too much trouble for me right now. Was hoping there would be an easy way. I guess I'm just lazy .
I was using the built in email client first with the IMAP4 settings. But the two main reasons I prefer to use the Gmail client is because I can view everything by conversation and I can easily see my starred messages.
I use the Gmail Java MIDlet to view and organize my Gmail inbox but every few days it will stop working and I'll have to uninstall and download it again.
This hasn't happened with any other programs and its been happening consistently since I got the phone so I doubt another program is interfering with Gmail.
Or, whats your favorite email application, should I just give up on the Gmail MIDlet?
I don't use WM's outlook program because it automatically deletes read emails from the inbox...why would it do that?
I use Opera Mini Browser 4.2. It also Java and works well for other Web pages. I have also tried the Gmail Midlet and haven't had any problems.
hmm weird.. I had been using the gmail applet for few weeks and only just now it somehow stopped working.
it will show loading but nothing happens.
tried soft reset, still the same.
in the end had to uninstall and install again.
now it works..
I'm on PDA Ultimate V10 rom.

It's usually because outlook mobile always shows what's on the mail server, and common PC clients delete messages from the server once they've been downloaded. Just set your PC client to leave the messages on the server for X days.
same here, the gmail java midlet is very moody and often non-responsive. i have experienced this with different rom versions and also with different midlet versions.

I use Gmail for my main email, the emails remain on the server after I view them but are removed from my phone inbox within 30 minutes of being read. So far the only way to keep them available on my phone is by marking them as unread.
Any workarounds?
Regarding the unreliable Gmail Java app: I downloaded the Tao Intent Midlet Manager and installed Gmail to it instead of the Java manager that came stock with my Tilt. The Intent manager takes a little longer to load Gmail but its much more stable and reliable, also it runs in the background so it ends up working faster for me anyway. I could never get Gmail to run in the background with the Tilt's stock midlet manager. Link to Intent manager below,

Hope this helps another,

Having problems with Gmail on the built in Email client on my Diamond. Was all working fine until I installed Dutty Rom. Setup Gmail, says checking 1 of hundreds, but nothing ever downloads, doesn't list my Google Folders like it did before either. If I change the settings to download all messages it'll download all my archive emails but not those in my Inbox.
Its really driving me mad! Anyone experience this error? How can I fix it? Or is there a free 3rd party email app I can use?
i personally suggest if you have Java Virtual machine installed, I would download the GMail mobile app.( m.google.com/mail / http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/11/gmail-mobile-java-application.html ). Then install it through Java virtual machine and browse your Gmail account like it would be in your standard browser!
Alternatively just turn SSL off, I had this exact problem and fixed it by using imap without SSL.
