Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

With the N800 OS2008 you can use Gmail via the web.
It should be nice to have Gmail via the N800 Email program.
Is this possible?
I can’t overcome the message:
"Error in socket operation". If using SSL encrypted e-mail, disable SSL and try again.
My settings are as below.

Your help in this should be much appreciated.

Regards,

==================
On gmail.com "Settings" "Forwarding & POP", "Enable POP",
On N800,
"New account".
User name, "name@gmail.com"
Email Address: "name@gmail.com"
Incoming Server "pop.googlemail.com".
Outgoing Server "smtp.googlemail.com"
"Advanced".
Password Authentication "Normal".
Security SSL (POP3S).
Incoming Email Port 995
Outgoing:
SMTP Authentication "Login".
User Name "name@gmail.com".
Security: SSL.
Outgoing Email Port: 465.
On the Security tab: all the boxes are unticked.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Yes it is possible.

Not completely sure about the security tab boxes you left unticked.

Don't have my N800 here right now so I can't compare it to my settings.

Or try Modest ... it has a "Gmail profile" with the right configuration.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Why not use imap. I used to use pop3..... but i am currently on imap. Try with imap and see if it works. By the way the email program is absolutely crappy and i think pop3 worked better than imap for me.

You can use the settings for iphone.... they worked for me. They are on the google page.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

IMAP never worked for me on the internal mail client.
With Modest Imap and POP works nearly perfect.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

...until last version (W16).

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Hmm...think I haven't used it since the last update so I'm not sure about that.
At least it's not reseting my N800 like the internal client did sometimes when retrieving Gmail Imap...

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

As suggested, I installed Modest.
But still no success.
Now I get the message:
Unable to connect to pop.googlemail.com. Server name or port number may be incorrect.
----------------------------
Used settings:
Incoming Server "pop.googlemail.com".
Outgoing Server "smtp.googlemail.com
Security SSL (POP3S).
Incoming Email Port 995
Outgoing:

Security: SSL.
Outgoing Email Port: 465.

Modest is currently broken, as far as I'm concerned it's been broken for a month or so at one level or another. I hope they fix it soon.

EDIT: I should say that for gmail access the only reliable way I have is via the web browser. I have been using Modest for over a month now and it's ability to work and not crash has been spotty at best. At least it's better than the built in client that doesn't work at all.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

I think it should be....
Incoming Server "pop.gmail.com".
Outgoing Server "smtp.gmail.com"

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

hey guys

modest is broken since the last update. a new update is expected in a few days that will fix the gmail problem.(according to the developer something is wrong with the regression, beats me if i know what that is!)

personally i like to use pop because i find it faster! but i hate that whenever i send an email on my webmail it has to show up on my n800 as a new message!

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Does Modest allow Gmail pop email access?

After entering the same settings as Green_N above I cannot retrieve or send emails. The Modest client doesn't report any errors. Checking for emails doesn't show any new email (despite sending a test email which it should have picked up) and sending emails just go the outbox and are marked "Fail".

I know most members prefer and recommend IMAP but can anyone confirm that pop should work (or indeed that they have it working) ?

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

googlemail is incorrect, as stated above. There is no such thing, it's gmail.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Hello!
I have the same problem and I've tried also to get my Email on n810 but futile!!!!
plz can any body here explain where is the mistake in this setting for Gmail...

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

POP3 on modest didn't work for me too. Now I use claws mail which is less hassle and works without problems on gmail.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Good but write here plz the setting of Gmail exactly because I've tried on claws but futile!!!
my email is the new vesion of Gmail I mean it's Name@googlemail.com but not name@gmail.com,is it tha same?

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Google can't use the gmail name in Germany as there was an existing company using that brand name and he didn't wish to sell it - see here.
Therefore in Germany googlemail is used and it's the same as gmail elsewhere.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Of course you're correct. I missed that reference to googlemail in Green_N's pop3 and smtp settings (I'll blame reading/posting in the early hours of the morning :o).
I actually had the correct gmail setting and it still doesn't work.

My full setting are as follows:

Account Tab

Account title*: Account
Retrieve*: Headers only
Retrieval limit*: No limit
Leave messages
on server: Ticked

User Info Tab

Name: ail]name@gmail.com[/email]
User name*: name@gmail.com
Password: password
Email address*: name@gmail.com

Incoming Tab

Incoming server
(POP3)*: pop.gmail.com
Secure
connection: SSL(POP3S)
Port: 995
Use secure
authenthentication: Ticked but grayed out

Outgoing Tab

Outgoing server
(SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Use secure
authentication: Login
User name: name@gmail.com
Password: password
Secure
Connection: SSL
Port: 465
Use connection
specific SMTP
servers: Unticked
SMTP servers: Edit box grayed out

The Modest wizard suggests most of these options when you enter a new account for gmail with POP so I'm surprised that

• (a) it doesn't work and
• (b) that it doesn't report any errors as to why it's not working :confused:.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

I gave in and tried IMAP.
Same story - doesn't work and doesn't give any errors.

Oh well.........

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

name@gmail.com can be used in Germany too.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

My username doesn't include '@gmail.com', just the part before @. Have you tried it that way?

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Have you enabled imap/pop at the google settings? By default they are off.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

I tried removing the "@gmail.com" from the username with no difference. Thanks though.

Yes, I change the settings on the PC prior to editing the settings in modest.

Could I just ask if anyone is sucessfully using pop Gmail on Modest?
Surely there would be more outcry if it wasn't working :confused:.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Yes, POP3 GoogleMail works fine for me on my N800 (latest version client, downloaded a few days ago). I didn’t think too much about how to configure it. I simply used the Account wizard to create the POP account (Region = UK, Service Provider = Gmail(POP)) under Email/Tools/Accounts/New. As sgosnell suggested, the username does not include the ‘@gmail.com’. Besides this, my settings look practically identical to yours.

The message “Unable to connect to pop.googlemail.com. Server name or port number may be incorrect.” has appeared a couple of times recently but, I guess, this is a server problem as all is OK 10 minutes later.

Using pop Gmail on Modest isn't working for me either on N810 diablo, latest update installed. I Have exactly the same problem as Fionn: no error message or whatsoever. Even if I change the POP3 port number to an incorrect one, no error message shows up!
The Gmail account is working on my Windows PC without problems though...

By the way, other POP3 accounts I tried do work properly. So as a workaround, I let my gmail being forwarded to a "normal" pop3 account to be able to read my email on my N810.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

FYI:
My gmail is working after all. Probably because I have added "recent:" to my POP3 account its user name. I also read my gmail from my desk-top PC. As a result, all messages were marked as downloaded already before reading them on my Nokia N810. By using "recent:username@gmail.com" on the gmail account on the N810 you can prevent this.

See also this explanation from Google.

Re: Gmail/Googlemail POP3 With the N800 OS2008
 

Slight update to this:

When I initially set up my pop gmail account in modest my first action would be to send a test email to myself from the n800.
The test email never budged from the outbox despite many attempts :(.

Yesterday I opened Modest again and tried sending/receiving (not expecting anything to have changed) and, voila, it both sent my test email and received emails :eek:. It first prompted me if I wished to ignore security certificates which I did. I'd never been prompted for that before.

I still have an issue though - I can't open email folders :(.
Thus I can receive email and see that my inbox contains email but I can't see who it's from or what the subject is and I can't double-click on the folder to open it.

In other words I can't get past this:

The same goes for sent folders, outbox etc.

However, when I get an email notification I can click on that and open the full email. Very strange.

Any ideas? Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and do a full reflash. Does a full reflash mean I'd have to apply all the SSU updates post re-flash?
