The cows came home but no one replied.

I have a SprintPCS Email account set up on my Q that Sends and Receives fine. The only change I have made to my phone was when I installed PDANet on 7/17/07. My mail problem has been going on since 8/6/07.

The error message I get is:
"The following errors occurred while sending and receiving mail:
An error occurred while downloading messages. Verify that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again."

I have updated my PCS Vision many times, hoping that would work, but it hasn't.

I have not made any changes to the account options. I have three Gmail accounts set up on my Q and all of them give the same error.

Anyone have any ideas of what it could be? Did Gmail change something?

Here are the account options on my Q:
Your name: Adam X
Email address: xxx@gmail.com
User Name: recent:xxx@gmail.com
Password: xxxxxx
Domain: Blank
Save Password: Checked
Server type: POP3
Account Name: Adam X
Network: The Internet
Incoming Server: pop.gmail.com:995
SSL: Not Checked
Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com:465
Requires Auth: Checked
Download: Past three days, first 1000 bytes
Check: Every hour

My other two accounts match this set up exactly.

Thanks for any help you can offer in advance!!

SSL should be checked.

In the messages, program, account options - set up a new account:
Your name: "put in your name"
E-mail address: "your full gmail address including @gmail.com"

NEXT

User name: (this is the key):
"recent:xxxx@gmail.com" with xxxx being your address. The key is recent
Password:
"put in your password"

Check to save password (I assume you want this)

Domain is blank

NEXT
Server Type : POP3
Account name: Gmail

NEXT
Incoming service
"pop.gmail.com:995"

dont check "require SSL connection"

Outgoing server:
"smtp.gmail.com:465"

check outgoing requires auth.

NEXT

Then pick the setting you want
(I have last 3 days)
and "entire message"

Connect auto. and check messages:
again, choose what you want - remember, checking more frequently will eat battery time! (I leave it to NEVER - and check manually myself)


hope this helps -
let me know if you have questions

have you logged on to gmail via the web and set it up for POP service? You can find it under settings -- POP and forwarding (or something like that). You have to turn it on from Google's site as well

I don't get the option for settings when I hit messaging in my Q. What am I doing wrong?

if this is about what troutseth said, he is talking about the settings in your Gmail account on-line, not on the Q.

1.) Download IBM Java from: http://files.filefront.com//;6090608;;/

2.) Copy the entire J9 folder to the root of your Q keeping directory structure

3.) In the J9\MIDP20 folder create a subfolder called apps

4.) Download the Gmail jar file from: http://gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gmail-g.jar

5.) Download Gmail jad from: http://gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gm-Generic-Advanced_MIDP2.jad

6.) Rename the jad file gmail.jad for simplicity

7.) Copy both gmail.jad & gmail-g.jar to \J9\MIDP20\apps

8.) Run emulator.exe found in \J9\MIDP20\bin

9.) Select install and in the drop down box select "/"

10.) In the URL box type \J9\MIDP20\apps\gmail.jad

11.) Follow prompts until you see the application has been installed successfully

12.) Create a text file for a direct shortcut to the Gmail java app

13.) Use the following line for the shortcut (keep it a single line):
197#"\J9\MIDP20\bin\j9midp20.exe" -classpath "\J9\MIDP20\apps\gmail-g.jar" "-Xbootclasspath:\J9\MIDP20\lib\jclMidp20\jclMidp20. jxe" javax.microedition.lcdui.AppManager "\J9\MIDP20\apps\gmail.jad"

14.) Save the text file as Gmail.lnk

15.) Copy Gmail.lnk to \Windows\Start Menu

16.) To fix fonts download http://mysite.verizon.net/res00tqh/fontPaths.jar

17.) Copy fontPaths.jar to \J9\MIDP20\lib\jclMidp20\ext

18.) Optional: Create a speed dial shortcut for one click access from your homescreen

Good luck!

Adam, THANK YOU for this post. I just did all of this, and it works. I then found elsewhere that the Gmail App has been updated to 1.5.0, so I thought I'd let everyone else know to change the download paths to the following:

Step 4 - JAR file: http://gmail.com/app/v1.5.0/L1/gmail-g.jar

Step 5 - JAD file: http://gmail.com/app/gmail.jad?make=...DP2&ver=v1.5.0

Step 6 - Rename: SKIP this, since the download already has the JAD file named "gmail.jad".

Im hoping someone can help me get my gmail account working. I had it working the way I wanted but had to restore my phone and lost it. I followed the instructions to get it and it doesnt work right. When it sends/recieves, it brings me up to the incoming server screen to type in my password even tho i had save password clicked. It wont bring my mail up. I have no idea whats wrong with it cause I followed every instruction at the beginning of this thread.

and you have the "recent:" in front of it ?... as i posted somewhere, at a random point in time it did not work on my Q, and it took me 3 delete and re-create accounts before i got it working again... still dunno why i did work the 3rd time but it has worked ever since.
