Guest Oak Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hi I am trying to setup my C500 to access my gmail account via pop3. I have filled in all the details, but whe I select to send/receive i get the following message: An error occured while downloading messages. verify that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bosshogg Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I had the same problem but got it working, here are my connection details: incoming server: pop.gmail.com:995 requires ssl connection outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com:587 outgoing server requires authentication also make sure you have POP3 access turned ON at gmail!

Guest fozzie Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Working perfectly on my C500. Make sure you use your complete Gmail email address as your username and not just the bit before the @. Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fozzie Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Leave out the port numbers. You're trying to be too clever :lol: Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Are you sure fozzie? I have the port numbers in and was lead to believe that they are necessary for GMail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'm using a Voyager with an Imate ROM and I don't put the ports in... It works to where I can read and write gmail, but..... Each subsequent time I retrieve messages it ONLY shows me new messages I didn't download before and gets rid of all other messages it's already previously retrieved (doesn't delete them in gmail thankfully, only on the phone)!! :shock: :?

Guest fozzie Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 So, You've put the port numbers in and it doesn't work and I haven't put them in and it does work. What do you reckon? Of course I'm sure! Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gism0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Just tried without the port numbers.. An error occured while downloading messages. Verify that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct then try again. (i'm on passthrough so coverage should be fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzie Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 So you've a problem with passthrough. What happens when you use GPRS? Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I don't think the port numbers are the problem. I have them in and it works for me, fozzie doesn't and it works for him so it should work either way. Presumably your passthrough connection is working OK and you get the same message with GPRS? If so then either your username and/or password are wrong or you have not stup POP3 access on your gmail account. As I asked before have you set up your Gmail account in Outtlook and does it work?

Guest Slsk-addict Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 lol the no port thingie worked for me too :lol: But my initial mistake was that my internet-acces (start-4-9-2) was set to automatic. Set it @ internet-acces Now I still have troubles downloading m existing e-mails to my phone. I tried sending/receiving option and setting it up again and selecting "download messages from the last 5 days" It just doesn't do anything.

Guest Confucious Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 As with all POP3 mail on the phone it only shows new mail that has not been read. Glad you got it working - but my internet access is set to Automatic and mine works :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confucious Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Can you download your gmail to outlook? You sayive never tried to connect to outlook Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iam25boy Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Can you download your gmail to outlook? You say Why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Finally, i get it working. You need to use the following config in your gmail settings: pop.gmail.com:995 SSL (checked) smtp.gmail.com:587 (must use port 587. Don't know why) SSL (checked) Username: [email protected] (must use full email address) Password: Now, it still won't work. You need to connect your phone to your PC and check the Gmail using the ActiveSync passthrough. Once you did that, the phone will complain something about invalid certificate. Just say you want to "continue" and ignore that message. Once you did that, you should be able to download your email. After this is done, from now on you can connect to gmail with GPRS. I don't know why I need to use the passthrough connection first. Maybe the certificate and the smtp port number has something to do with it. I am using Audiovox smt5600 and AT&T network. Hope this help! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaser81 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Sometimes asks for a domain name when setting up email. You dont need it for gmail though, leave it empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randomtask Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I've had sporadic success with this... I just tried setting POP3 access to GMail up on my phone for the third time and it actually worked. I received mail and successfully sent a message. That was the end of my success... Every time I try to Send/Receive I get the "Network Coverage/Account Information" error message... Is this working every time for people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
