i'm using IMAP, and works fine.
imap.gmail.com
SSL
993
did you enter your user name as your full email address, checked password is correct?

Yeah, same settings as that, password is correct.
I'm just wondering if i'll need a device specific one?
Edit: I did indeed, application specific password was needed.

Gmail

Does anyone know how to set up Gmail on the device, but as POP3? It automatically sets it as IMAP, without giving you an option to change it. So I tricked the setup wizard by entering a different e-mail, and entered the settings for POP3. Problem is, messages are being sent - but nothing seems to enter my mailbox. And I get no error message.
Did anyone already do that?
Could seem stupid, but, check if IMAP is active in your Gmail setting panel.
I use 2 gmail account and they works fine.
I'm not using IMAP (since it requires 3G connection, which is expensive), i'm using POP3. And POP3 is indeed enabled in Gmail.

Who set Gmail on their topaz

as of above.
i used gmail on my cruise both wm6.1 & wm6.5 it should be the same for topaz,
settings from here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78886
I use Gmail, the phone will automatically set it up for imap.
I'm using both gmail and hotmail on the D2; I found hotmail much better for the diamond2
The reasons are:
First, gmail will retrieve the email from the past 30 days; where hotmail will grab a constant window of 50 mails.
But most importantly, as soon as an email is sent to my hotmail account, it appears on the d2; whereas gmail will check the email every hour.
I'd be very interesting if there was a way to have the hotmail behaviors with my gmail account.
i dont know what i missed out, it just never connect to the gmail.
That's strange. I also have no problem with Gmail.
My gmail account work but how to setup gmail account for push email, instant email?

I use Gmail with POP3 access.
Incoming Mail Server = pop.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server = smtp.gmail.com
Check "Outgoing server requires authentication"
At Advanced Server Settings
Check "Require SSL for incoming e-mail"
Check "Require SSL for outgoing e-mail"
Make sure the correct Network Connection is selected.
Hope this helps.

Please check ur pm
If you want push gmail you'll need to use imappusherservice, i recommend this version as it does auto-restart if the connection is interruppted (the main one just craps out).
Following copied out of the readme.
This is an unofficial "patch" version of version 0.6.0 of ImapPusher Service (http://imappusherservice.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17672), written by codeplex user gmurray.

Nothing to dl on this link, it say "This Project has no releases"
Hi,
I use Gmail thru Imap and it rocks smoothly. First of all you have to understand what "archiving" email is intersting with gmail.
If you classify quickly your emails or archive them ( you have to get some often in web mode) you will then download only the emails in the Inbox ( not all emails !!!).
Also you can setup how old emails you wish to get 3/7 days...
Gmail works fine and great no problems. Better than any hotmail !
Regards
M B
Also, Gmail uses differen PORT for POP3 and SMTP !!!

I am using POP3, but still you need to activate SSL, which causes the use of different ports.

Everytime exchange sync for gmail returns authentication failed

Hey guys,
Anyone of your experienced such problem?
I create an exchange activesync account for google. and then input all the information correctly such as the server name, username, password,
Then I select sync mail, calendar, contact, and push. After click finish, it always returns "authentication failed"
Anyone know what's going on?
Probably u have to enter a captcha trough the website (this can be done from a pc) or you have the wrong credentials.
Edit: or your internet doesn't allow you to connect, (business firewall?)
Edit 2: Google is no exchange, just use the default Google account option.

If you use the default mail client, you can set up Google via IMAP.

This does not work either. I have just purchased a HTC Desire S and cannot get a Google Apps working through either IMAP or Exchange.
Infact, any time I have tried to add an account via. Exchange I see that error message (Hotmail/Google Apps account).
It seems that imap.google.com is down from my limited tests, and I would want exchange support.
What gives, is the Mail client on the Gingerbread phones broke?

I don't think you can connect through Google Mail via Exchange. Exchange is only meant for connecting to MS Exchange servers.
You have the following two choices:
- Either run the standard GMail client.
- Or run the standard Mail Client and connect via IMAP.
What exactly do you mean when you say you want "Exchange Support"? If you want Exchange support, you should look at Exchange-based email services.
BTW, I have no issues connecting to GMail's through IMAP using the default email client nor do I have issues with connecting through the GMail client.
Thanks for your reply.
Actually gmail can be accessed via exchange. As I used before in iOS. You can find it under the webpage of google/sync.
There's explicit tutorial for ios user to set up an exchange server for gmail. The mails is pushed to the client rather than retrieving them every certain time.
server is: m.google.com
user name: [email protected]
password: xxxx

That's using Google Sync (Google Sync uses the MS Exchange Activesync protocol) for the iPhone. One the Incredible S (as on the other Android phones), you do not need to use Google Sync to get push email (in fact I don't think Google Sync is available for Android phones). All you need to do is set up your Google Account and have it sync the calendar, phone book and email and you'll have everything working.
I'm not sure why you want to go via the iPhone(Exchange) route when there's a simpler (and more native way) of getting your Google mail set up with your Android phone.
Thanks man.
I know I can get push gmail from the built-in app. But what I want is to receive all my mails in just one app. Cuz I have 4 email account, which includes my school account, department account, and others, while I still want to get my gmail pushed.
Thanks for your explanation, that makes sense. I also live in Victoria, lol

The in-built google account does not seem to work for Google Apps accounts? as in anything that doesn't end in @gmail etc?
If I try the imap settings, I get an error message saying that the phone cannot connect to the server?
That is using "imap.google.com". Should the phone accept google apps accounts through the native google account provider?
And Android does work fine with Google Sync, at least it does on the Galaxy S I have.
Cheers,
MiG

It does work as I have my Google Apps account working with both the GMail and standard mail client.
When you set up your Google account, ensure that the sync for mail is on. That should set it up to work with your GMail client.

Just tried this. It says the username/password is not recognised through the built-in GMail App.....
Are there any settings I have to enable?
Most people missing the point here though? I too want to use the HTC Mail client (as I'll be honest, GMail client sucks) and IMAP only does mail, most of the time it syncs just fine using m.google.com but sense 2.1 (and 3.0) regularly get auth error's, and only go back to push mail when that's cleared or you launch the mail app to set the sync off again. It's deffo a sense issue as sense 2.0 Roms dont have the issue. It's seems to do with the way HTC have implemented their ActiveSync V14.x protocol stuff or how Google have (as sense 2.1/3 both try v14.1 first, then fail back to 12.x)
Hey ho, might dig around a bit more as there is some errors in the logs, might be able to track it down, might also ping a question over to HTC.
Seem to have fixed it, and it's a easy (if odd) fix,
Login on PC to GMail (or app for domain in my case) and change your password, change it on phone
All sorted... Dont ask me why?
So i tried a lot of things and nothing worked also hard reset, chang password from gmail account.
it´s only with the gmail all other email provider are working find and fo me i don´t like to have 2 email app´s because gmalapp is working fine but the i have to use the other app for my work and i don´t prefer it.
hope anybody can help.

v. 2.3.3
Guys, the thing is, the default gmail app is HIDEOUS with no pinch to zoom, it f's up formatting in portrait, and is just really low quality.
The HTC mail app looks A LOT better, but problem is, if you don't set gmail up as Exchange, it fails cause it won't push.

[Q] Push Notification on Gmail App

Does Push Notification (not enabling 'Auto-Synch') works with GMail App? I am not getting it to work while GMail App overview on market say 'Email pushed automatically to your phone'
----------------------
SGN (GT-N7000), 2.3.6
My phone has the same problem. Mails arrive at random, but are not pushed... My gmail app is v2.3.5.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I am not sure, but I think you have to have auto sync enabled for push to work for Gmail.

Yes. You need to enable Sync in your settings for push email to work.
Without Autosync On, gmail push mail will not work, but if you configure 'Email' or Social Hub, then you can set it to fetch mail at certain duration e.g. every 5 min. or 30 min like this

but then that's not the push mail but rather gmail app will keep polling. i am concern about battery drain.I will try to configure gmail account in Samsung native email client and see how it goes.
My experience : Samsung native enail checking freq @ 5min, draining much more battery thn gmail sync ON
here is how you push G mail-I've been doing it for a couple of years
You set it up as an Exchange account like this:
enter user name and password
do manual set up
select Exchange
leave domain blank and /your user name as is
leave password as is
change server to m.google.com: 443
select push
Syncs just like any other Exchange account.

I doubt...my observation is i get email on SGN as soon as delivered on my laptop for exchange account and having 'Auto-synch' disable so not possible unless Samsung native email app do continuous 'polling', which i really doubt so it looks genuine push service to me.

Thanks...i wasn't sure about server name and thought need to enable pop-up forwarding on gmail account first but tried above and working perfectly.
Just minor point is you can't put ':443' as server name in exchange server, that do not allow to configure the account so i put 'm.google.com' as server name and working perfectly fine.

IMAP emails on HTC app?

I am having issues getting a new work IMAP address to work on my HTC One for Sprint. It works through the Gmail app and through Gmail on a web browser but when I select IMAP in the default HTC app (I prefer over gmails app) it doesn't seem to work and if I try to set it up as a Gmail account in the HTC app it says it isn't an account so I am pretty confused.
Anyone able to shed some light on this?

It's not a Gmail account then?
When you bring up add an account in the HTC Mail app, click on Manual.
Enter in all your info there. That doesn't work?
I figured it out, thanks.
