Thanks to all the previous replies I have got Gmail working. For reference to others I found that the port numbers seemed to change when different security options are selected. I had to go back and reset them to be sure. Once I did this it worked.

I am having exactly the same issues as flyingyeti. Both smtp and pop are not working. he 770 states that the smtp server smtp.gmail.com does not exist .... then it gives an error about ssl.

I have exactly the setting as per above with ports etc ..... just doesn't work.

If it says that smtp.gmail.com doesn't exist then it's a DNS problem. Your dhcp server (assuming you're connected through some wi-fi access point) should have given you a DNS that can resolve the address.

>host smtp.gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com CNAME gmail-smtp.l.google.com
gmail-smtp.l.google.com A 64.233.183.109

Account name: gmail
Account type: POP3
Name: your name i.e. Joe
User name: your gmail username i.e. banditrider
Password: your gmail password
E-mail address: your full email address i.e. banditrider@gmail.com
Incoming server(POP3): pop.gmail.com
Outgoing server(SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Use connection specific SMTP servers: Un-checked

Advanced
Retrieval tab
Retrieve: Headers only
Leave email on server: Checked
Email size limit (kb): 1000
Password authentication: Normal
Security: SSL (POP3S)
Incoming e-mail port: 995 (you need to scroll down to see this)

Sending tab
SMTP authentication: Login
Username: full email address i.e. banditrider@gmail.com
Password: gmail password
Security: Normal (TLS)
Outgoing e-mail port: 587

Compositing tab
Default e-mail format: Formatted text (HTML)
Send email: Immediately
Include original in reply: Checked
Request read report: Un-checked

Security tab
Only the last two items are checked

Again, If you haven't set your account to pop3 at gmail.com, you won't be able to read mail.
Cheers BanditRider, I was having some issues setting up gmail on the 770 email client after a re-flash and this sorted it out nicely .
