Gmail setup on PPC (tutorial with pics)
i am running 2003 se on an x30 mid A05 ROM.
BEFORE YOU START BE SURE YOU HAVE POP3 ENABLED IN YOUR GMAIL SETTINGS
1. First enter the program messages on your PPC
2.Now Tap the accounts button, and then hit New Account,
Enter your email and tap next
3. Enter whatever name you want for the 'Your Name' field, doesnt matter, for me i just typed my initials,
Next enter your gmail user ID.
Next enter your gmail password and select 'save password unless you want to type it everytime you send/recieve messages.
Now hit Next.
4. Now on this screen select POP3 for the account type. And name the account, i just left mine named POP3.
Now hit Next.
5. Here is where you enter the Server info for gmail, !!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!, you CANT mess this part up. Must be just like shown.
After you enter this info, select options.
6. here is your first options screen
make your screen look like this
7. On this second options screen, check all things i have checked.
I have checked 'use seperate settings', If you check this box you must click outgoing settings and enter your gmail user name and password again. But just make sure you check the 'SSL' connection and 'outgoing mail requires authentication checked'.
Now select next.
8. Here is the Outgoing Settings Window, just enter your gmail username and password, and check SSL.
9. On the last screen you can choose how much of message you want to recieve, i chose recieve all because i get lots of pictures in my email.
Hope this helps some of You all having trouble.
