For several Firmware versions I tried to set up my gmail account in the mail client. Unfortunately I was never able to send or receive any emails. My settings are:
name: test@gmail.com
address: test@gmail.com
description: test@gmail.com
Incoming Server
Host name: pop.gmail.com
user name: test
Password: testpass
Outgoing Server
Host name: smtp.gmail.com
user name: test
Password: testpass
ssl turned on so ports are 995 and 465
It simply does not work, neither on Wlan connections or CMNET connections. Did anyone get Gmail to work and can post their settings?
EDIT: do not include any characters like !@#$%^&*()": in your password then it worksLast edited by 3xponl; 08-16-2009 at 07:14 AM. Reason: solution

Works fine for me like this
Also in Gmail you have to enable POP in your Gmail settings.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 Postsfirmware / keyboard / encryption error
Ok, I always blamed the firmware versions or the encryption. As it is working with everyone else, I played around with all settings trying to make it work. It seems to be an password issue.
Apparently not all letters on the keyboard can be used in a password on the M8. In my case I was not able to use passwords with a ! @ # $ % " in it.
With just letters in the password it works just fine.
For GPRS call failed, change the GPRS settings to cmnet.

Pay for GPRS service? Yeah, make sure you have a plan, my service has a BS rate ($0.05 for 1Kb).

@Shadowstrike
You'll need to connect to a network that is connected to the internet, not all wireless access points are connected to a modem.

Thanked 31 Times in 18 PostsWhen I had problems it was for not putting the password in correctly. If you can go to gmail's main site and reset/change your password that may help. In my case once I reset it. No more connect problems.
