Set up Gmail as a POP3 Account



To set up Gmail for POP3, start with these steps:

1. Log in to your Gmail account from your PC.
2. Select Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Select the Forwarding and POP tab in the orange Mail Settings box.
4. Under POP Download, choose to Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on.
5. Specify whether you want Gmail to keep a copy of messages in the Inbox when you access messages through POP.
6. Select Save Changes.

Now you can auto-configure Gmail from your Pocket PC phone:

1. Press Start and scroll to Messaging.
2. Select Menu > Tools > New Account.
3. Enter your e-mail address
4. In the Auto configuration screen, wait until the Status changes from Connecting to Completed.
5. Select Next.
6. Enter your name, user name, and password. If you want your PDA/smartphone to save your password, so you won’t have to enter it every time you want to check your mail, check the box next to Save password.
7. Select Next.
8. Ensure Account type is set to POP3.
9. Select Next.
10. Make sure that Incoming Mail is set to pop.gmail.com:995
11. Make sure that Outgoing Mail is set to smtp.gmail.com:465
12. Select Finish.
13. Select Yes to confirm that you would like to download mail for this new account now.

To view your latest messages on your Pocket PC phone, select Menu > Send/Receive.

DONE! :)

Hope this helps :D
