i could use some help for using gmail/hotmail with pocket outlook.

i tried using the pHotmail program but it doesnt work.. i guess i need an 2gb account which costs $20 per year for using (pocket) outlook and hotmail together??

for Gmail i use the following settings:
Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com:995
Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
Domain: www.gmail.com
under Options checked "Require SSL Connection" "Outgoing mail requires authentication" "Use separate settings"
Clicked Outgoing Settings
Entered my username, password, checked "Require SSL for outgoing mail"
Domain: www.gmail.com

now i have 2 problems with the Gmail:
1) after i have read an email it disappears from the pocket outlook inbox (its still in the gmail-inbox since thats what i selected at gmail-forwarding and pop settings)

2) i cant seem to send any messages.. they stay in my outbox instead of being send.. also pOutlook gives the message that it cant download any messages when i try to send an email

i tried some different outgoing-mail settings like note using ssl, but it doesnt make a difference
seems im missing something :roll:

edit: typo

problem 1 has resolved itself :o

but i still cant send emails using pocket outlook with Gmail...
also with "pocket email checker" aka "httpmail checker" i cant even open the inbox. it keeps saying "error"

anyone else had this problem?? could a different rom solve the problem? im now using the standard dutch t-mobile rom.

the problem was that i filled in the domain name (www.gmail.com)
when i left it empty it worked and i am now able to send and receive emails using Gmail.

however i would still like someone to tell me how to use pocketHotmail :!:
pOutlook does find the folders which i use in hotmail (example: i have a folder named school and poutlook now has that folder without me making it) but when i pres send/receive it doesnt say connecting but instead waits about 3 seconds and then says finished...

i tried settings:
incoming: hotmail/pop.hotmail.com
ssl: not required and required
filling in the domain and leaving it empty

sorry if my questions seem dumb, ive got my universal for 7 days now and ive read alot here and in other topics but not everything...

any idea how problem 1 resolved itself? i have the same problem. i've read the other posts and made the suggested changes, but no difference - the email disappears the next time i sync whether or not i've read it.

thx

this is because you probably have it set to: get full copy of messages

this way gmail sees you alreaddy downloaded the message and doesnt send it again to poutlook.
poutlook sees gmail doesnt send the email header anymore and deletes it.

smart thinking of both programs, but doesnt combine well :wink:

try using: get message headers only. and download 999kb of the message (entire message) body

this will probably get rid of the problem you have.
