yes i have the pop and forwarding option and have used it . the site was down for a minute a few days ago and i think they were setting this up then...

And if you don't have enough Google, you can use GoogHelper, article courtesy of pocketpcthoughts.com. Convinced Google is trying to take over the world yet? Mwahaaa, mwahaaa...

I just checked and I don't have the POP3 option yet. But I will send out 2 free invites to the first 2 to pm me with their email address.

Well, Palm OS 4.1 and earlier don't have SSL, so the VersaMail app won't work.

However, looks like Eudora freeware for the Palm might. As soon as I have Gmail POP access, I'll test that.

I saw this on the web the other day... Very excited! I have GMail account, but haven't used it as I prefer POP.

I'll use it more once they enable my POP.

John, did you try it? Did it work? I tried it on my EudoraMail app on my Kyo 7135 and didn't have any luck. You?

I have access to the pop server, but I haven't been able to get to it from my ppc 2003 phone as it requires a port over ride from the default pop port. Maybe that is what is causing some problems.

POP3 access to GMail requires an SSL-encryption capable Email client program. The first thing you have to do is log into your GMail account using a web browser. Go to the "Forwarding and POP" tab, and enable the type of POP3 you want to do.

SnapperMail supports SSL in its "Premier" and "Enterprise" edition levels. You need the following settings. They're SnapperMail specific so you'll have to adapt them to other programs if you need to. These also assume you are already in the process of creating a new "Account" within SnapperMail.

Server Tab:
POP3 Server = pop.gmail.com
Username = your full GMail Email address
Password = your GMail password

Outgoing SMTP Server = smtp.gmail.com
Username = your full GMail Email address
Password = your GMail password

Tap the "More" button at the bottom of the "Server" tab screen.

For POP3 settings:
Set "Use SSL" dropdown to "Always Secure (wrapped port)"
Set the port to 995 and leave the other checkboxes unchecked.

For SMTP settings, you can use either "Set" of settings below. There is no mention to the word "Set" anywhere in the SnapperMail interface. These are merely two different ways that you can configure SnapperMail to send Email using GMail's server. Simply choose the set below that you want to use, but do not mix the settings together between both sets.

SMTP SETTINGS "More..." Set #1:
Set the "Use SSL" dropdown to "Always Secure (STARTTLS)"
Use port 587
Leave the other checkboxes unchecked.

SMTP SETTINGS "More..." Set #2:
Set the "Use SSL" dropdown to "Always Secure (wrapped port)"
Use port 465
Leave the other checkboxes unchecked.

I work part time on the SnapperMail support team, and we already have quite a few users using the settings above successfully.

That did the trick!!!
My Snappermail was my first choice anyway, but it couldn't log in.
The problem was that I didn't know about the "More" button and its settings.
Once I plugged your info in, I was downloading my gmail on my Snappermail!!!
Thank you soooooooooo much SilvrDrgn!

Help!

I try to set up the the Gmail POP3 with my BCPE. It keeps coming back with "Invalid GMail username or password." What is should Gmail username be? How does that differ from the Gmail email address?

The Username is your full gmail email address.
And your password is the password you use to log onto your web gmail account.

Thanks. I got it working. That's confusing when your username is your full email address and they ask you to use your username and email address at different places.

True. Glad it worked out.
All the best,

Having Problems connecting. Says:

"incoming mail server, pop.gmail.com is not responding. Connection closed."

is it because I am using Eudora?

Can someone help me with the settings?

thanks in advance.

Which Eudora are you using? Does it have SSL capability? If not, then it will not work.

It is the Eudora 2.1.1 that came with the Kyocera 7135.

Is that verison compatable?

js

The built-in Eudora 2.1.1 app on the 7135 appears to have SSL capability. You will have to go into the account settings within that program, and adjust the config parameters on the "Security" tab in the account. Most likely you'll have to set the Security (SSL) drop-down gadget to "SSL Requried" for the POP3 server. For GMail's SMTP server, you'll probably have to select "Alternate Port" for the respective drop-down gadget. I would first try setting the Authentication drop-down to "Best Available" for both of them. Finally, I'm not sure how to set the alternate port number in Eudora 2.1.1. I looked in the help screen on the Security tab (tap the "i" in the upper-right corner), and at the bottom it says "SSL is not available in this release." Hmmmm.....that's strange?!?!

I finally got 'Forwarding and POP' to appear in my Gmail settings and after enabling it in Gmail and setting it up on my i-mate PDA2K, it works through GPRS just fine! Yeah!!!! Most excellent!!!
