I think the mail client that comes with OS2008 won't work with gmail IMAP. You need the Modest beta. (Search this forum for it)

??? I did not notice any problems. Just follow the settings on google help page, you receive using imap, send using stp.
There is no advantage over pop for the built-in email client, though.

Hi,
I've just tried to configure my N800/OS2008 and my GMail account, it all works except for reading messages. I get the headers, but I don't get the actual message content (just says 'Retrieving'). Sending works fine too. It takes forever too.
Not very impressed. OS2008 is a dream otherwise, well, maybe not a dream, but it's very good.
Could someone who got it working share their secret and/or settings? I did the setup per the instructions. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=78799
I'd like to get the built in app working before going to another app, like Modest... :-/
Thanks!

Strangely I'm able to read my emails, but I wouldn't call it "working" my IMAP inbox contains about 3000 emails. (Works fine on several email clients, including Maemo claws-mail.)
Anyway; to retrieve emails takes several minutes. Once the email is in my inbox I can click it to open it, and then I get the email display screen with the 'Retrieving' progress bar going 'forever'. 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!

It doesn't work at all for me. I'm waiting on Modest to actually replace the standard e-mail client before I switch to it though.
There's an Gmail Notifier that's now out there though. Might be worth it in the meantime.

See topic: GMAIL on the N810 where these points have been hashed through.

I've read the thread you're referring to before http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13081 but all it does is confirm that GMail's IMAP does not work with the built in OS2008 email application.

POP works just fine and you can set it up to leave messages on server so there are no IMAP advantages for me.
I'm toying around with my N810 today and have been unsuccessful in setting up IMAP gmail access.
I've searched on here and from what I can read nobody's been able to have both send and receive working by IMAP. What's the most likely cause of this? Would this be a google or email client issue?
