After several minutes the email-view screen closes and if I open the email view screen again the same happens, but at a shorter time. The 3rd time I open it up, the 'Retrieving' progress bar goes on for a while, but then suddenly there's my email.


*sigh*

I had better working email clients on my 486 DX2 50mHz machine!
POP works just fine and you can set it up to leave messages on server so there are no IMAP advantages for me.

(Go to E-mail - Inbox > Accounts > New account... and continue with the next step).

Select Next to start the account setup.

In the Account setup 1/4, define the following settings:
Account name: Your user name,including the domain name (for example, BarneyRuble@gmail.com )
Account type: POP3
Tap Next.

In the Account setup 2/4, define the following settings:
Name: Your user name (as you want it to be shown in the sender field, for example, "BarneyRuble")
User name: Your user name (for example, BarneyRuble@gmail.com)
Password: Your password (for example, a1b2c3)
E-mail address: Your e-mail address (for example, BarneyRuble@gmail.com)
Tap Next.

In the Account setup 3/4, define the following settings:
Incoming server (POP3): pop.gmail.com
Outgoing server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Leave Use connection-specific SMTP servers unchecked.
Tap Next.

In the Account setup 4/4, tap Advanced for further settings.
In the Incoming view, you must define the following settings:
Security: SSL (POP3S)
Incoming e-mail port: 995

In the Outgoing view, you must define following settings:
SMTP authentication: Login
User name: Your user name (for example, BarneyRuble@gmail.com)
Password: your password (for example, a1b2c3)
Security: SSL
Outgoing e-mail port: 465 or 587
Tap OK to save the settings.

Tap Finish. Your mailbox has now been created.
BTW, the blue LED flashes upon reciept of new mail so there is no need for mnotify either.
