Setup Gmail with WM6

Now that i have "the real thing" i would like to setup my gmail account with outlook mobile so that whenever i am connected to wi fi i can download my messages without having to open PIE. I would also like to do the same thing with my hotmail email account. How can i do this?

Have a look here - and then normal po3 account?

I do have POP setup, but it won't download messages, it can connect, but it won't download any messages. As for windows live hotmail, i cant connect with that either, i think it has to do with my settings under connections, then connections. Like with all the network and dialing rules.

you configure the incoming and outgoind mail right?
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
options: page 2: Outgoing mail requires authetication

Ok so i now got both working, but my gmail automatically removes my messages once they have been downloaded once. How can i fix that?

probably because there no "new messages" set the "Only display messages from the last "x" days to more days
or unset this option

The option was off, and after it had downloaded the messages once and i tried it again they all went away. My Windows Live ones stay the same though.

prefix your user account name with "recent:"
for example, my gmail account is "baarod" so I use "recent:baarod" and my normal password
see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47948&topic=1555

does it need quotes around it? and do i put this infront of the email adress or user name?
EDIT: nevermind i got it. Thanks a ton. Now both are working.

@Baarod
Thanx for the "recent:" tip... this was driving me up against the wall... Have you ever had it that messages you sent from Gmail (sometimes when sent from PPC, always when sent from PC) appears again, from yourself, in your Gmail Inbox?

Yeah. That's "normal" for gmail. Has something to do with it being conversation-based. If you look in gmail through the browser you'll see that actually the same thing happens, your responses to email get attached to the message you replied to.

anyway to turn it off?

has anybody successfully synced there fone to gmail???
cause i have run into a bit of a problem my fone checks gmail every 15 mins and i get my email and everthing but i cant send email. i use recent:username so that it doesnt deleat the messages on my fone. anyone?? know how to fix these?

I am having the same problem and I am looking for a fix right now. It's due to the port #"s that are required by gmail to send and recieve email through there servers.

I have it working...
what are your settings?
my outgoing mail server is 'smtp.gmail.com:465' then in the Options menu I have 'Outgoing mail requires authentication' selected, and 'use separate settings' is NOT selected.
Maybe try that...I know the Outgoing Mail requires Authentication needs to be selected in order for you to be able to send mail...

if I could suggest maybe searching the posts for a direct push email service, many of which are free, getting that setup, then simply forwarding all of your gmail to the direct push account. making sure it leaves copies in ur gmail inbox for checking/archiving later from ur pc.

it works fine for me on my phone,i can send and recieve flawlessly. my outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com:465 as well

ok thanks u guys it was easy i had the 'use separate settings' selected. but once i unselected it.. it worked.. so u guy know of any good free service for pushing gmail, that works good??

mail2web offers free push service, and you can forward your gmail from the account options to a mail2web account. I was doing that for a while and it worked extremely well! Website can be found at: http://live.mail2web.com

you know, its funny. i was just working on this today as well.
i have the settings that pocket outlook found for me:
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
domain is blank. i have the use seperate settings unticked etc..
but it keeps asking me for my username and password and domain
i am using the correct username and password as far as i can tell. connects okay on my pc with that login. but it keeps failing on my wizard. do i need to put something in the domain area?

Captivate Not Sending Email

Has anyone had a problem with sending Email? My captivate has been fine up until this point, but for some reason starting today I can recive emails, send txt and mms and everything but Emails just sit there and say sending. I am rooted but thats about it. Anyone have any suggestions or seen this before? I tried doing the hard reset and all but nothing seems to be working. I flashed back to my nandroid back up and still not sending. Thanks.

You talking from the native Email client or the Gmail client?
If you're talking native Email client, try "updating" your IMAP/POP (or whatever you're using) outbound settings and then resend. See if refreshing the connection settings fixes anything.
BTW, this is the first I've read of this kind of issue...I am not seeing it.

Make sure the outgoing SMTP server settings are not biting you.
If you have the outgoing server settings for your wireless carrier's SMTP but are transmitting via WiFi it can cause a problem. The opposite is also true as in you have set the outgoing smtp for your ISP but are not using WiFI at the moment.
I mention this because it is a frequent cause of people losing outgoing email ability after setting up their accounts and then logging into a wireless access point.
...Lets say your wireless providers outgoing server is CWMX.com (at&t) but you are connected to your home wireless router that is using Time Warner Cable. If your phone is using a local network connection such as your home wireless router and not sending data through AT&T's network it will not be able to find CWMX.com. It would need to be set for your ISP outgoing SMTP or switch back to AT&T network for data.
Im not guaranteeing this is your problem but this would be my first guess with the little information provided.

Sorry for lack of details. It is actually the Gmail client that will not let me send emails. When i set up the native Email system I can both send and Recieve. Its just when I use the Gmail client that it just sits there and says sending, but never sends. I can recieve email all day long in the Gmail client.

1. Do you happen to be using Juice Defender or and automatic task killer?
2. Did this happen for the first time AFTER you restored a backup?
3. Have you tried clearing data/cache?

I have cleared data/cache, it did not happen after the back up it was before, and I do use a task killer. Its just odd because even maildroid and k-9 will send emails. Its only my gmail app that will not send them.

Google haas been making changes to the gmail servers recently. There is a thread in the Google support forums about it (don't have the link handy) that may have something to do with it.

I was referring to the task killer as a possible issue. Some people have had problems with task killers shutting down email sync. I' lost for ideas. Hope you can get it worked out. Though I have not experienced this, you definitely are not the only person with the issue.
Good luck!

I have had the same problem. It does send just not right away particularly emails with attachments. I sent an MP3 yesterday to a friend and it sat in the outbox for over and hour. I send a one line email today and went out instantly

email issues
I have been trying to send via aol and cant get the cell to send. It worked initially. i think i had set it up with one aol account and then switched to another aol account and the system isnt working since.
I dont know what to do... but i do get emails on the cell. its very confusing and i have checked the smap ...any ideas for me to try? also cant find how to sync cell with pc without clearing out the harddrive. Ive only had this for abour 1 month and already have a number of photos that i dont want to lose not to mention all the contacts!

Push mail on WiFi

I just set up my hotmail account as an "M$ Exchange ActiveSync" account in the default mail application. I entered m.hotmail.com as server (Found this using Google), set Peaktime from 00:00 to 23:59 and enabled push mail for peak time. Push mail seems to work properly while I'm on my data connection. But when I turn on WiFi to connect to my home router, it doesn't work anymore. I don't get the push service. The mails come in only when I open the App and it syncs. Same for Gmail, even though a mail on my Gmail came in while I syncedwith the default app. Is there any workaround for this? I read about the WiFi policy when the device is in standby, and I found that my setting was already to never turn it off. Can somebody help?

Please do also report if you have the same problem or if another Push solution for Hotmail works for you.

Does nobody here use pushmail?

I think I'm having a similar issue with my phone. I only use GMail, but even then my messages show up sluggishly when I'm connected to WiFi.
I have a GMail notifier extension in my browser, so emails consistently ping when my browser is opened. Unfortunately, the very same notification will take a couple of minutes to show up on my phone.
Don't know if that's a helpful problem report. Hopefully there's something stupid that we're missing that's causing issues?

I use Advanced Email which is great. works really well.
I have my wireless on all the time at work and at home and get push emails from hotmail fine.
So i would say maybe its the software.
Advanced email is very good. I use it alot because it can also get folders you create and not just the inbox.

Thanks for the suggestion, will certainly check it out and post back if it solves the problem. Still, other suggestions/solutions are very welcome.

Sorry its Enhanced Email =]

[Q] Stock email client doesn't sync with gmail

My stock email client on my Nexus 5 was working perfectly fine with my gmail. I had a break in at my house and my tablet was stolen. I changed all my passwords to prevent any illicit activities. Since I have changed the password, the stock email client has stopped working with gmail. Every time I try to set it up, I get "couldn't finish - Username or password is incorrect" message. I have tried the "edit details" or manual setup options. Checked username and password, select imap as the server, SSL/TLS security type, and port 993. I get the same message when I hit next. I am using the stock ROM that was rooted. The root is lost too, but I will work on that later.
I have cleared the data and cache for the client multiple times but that didn't help either.
I have the gmail app on the phone as well and that works fine but it doesn't give any notifications. I would be OK if the gmail app gave me notifications whenever I got new emails so I wouldn't have to use the stock email client, but I prefer the stock email since that was setup as the default email app.
I have also tried K9 but that doesn't show anything when I launch the app.
Ideally I like to use the stock app but I will be OK with the gmail app becoming the default app. Any thing that I can implement to fix this?
