GMail - can send but can't receive

[MarkyMark7890]

can anyone help? I've setup my gmail account in messaging, and can send to myself and others using messaging (send and receive sends fine), BUT I can't get it to receive! pop and smtp servers are setup ok but when I send and receive I get nothing back. I can logon onto my gmail account and see the email sitting quite happily in my inbox.
any ideas?

Hi, I imagine you already have your issue fixed, but if not, are you allowing pocket outlook to auto config the settings?, I skipped this the first few times when first setting my email up, and it seems I always had something wrong, so I let the auto config do its thing, and it works beautifully with gmail.

[MarkyMark7890]

well, i've stiil not got it working yet, but i'm going through the auto setup as we "speak". so i'll keep you posted.

MM.

[MarkyMark7890]

how long does the auto setup normally take? it's been sat at the downloading stage for 30 mins now!

Dont know if youve seen this but theres a new app from google for gmail, its java and i couldnt get it to work but others may have success, anyway you can grab it from http://gmail.com/app (using your mobiles browser)

That app doesn't work with the midlet manager on the TyTn

got the same problem with my gmail and also the same problem with the auto configuration. does anyone have gmail working for both sending and receiving? if so can you post the settings? thanks

And me, I cannot send but receive. I was use defalts setting for gmail. If any one want to set by defalts, you must be online! Can any one resolve my problem?

pop.gmail.com:995
smtp.gmail.com:465
no ssl
no domain
use authentification, outgoing settings same
mine is set to connect and check every 15 minutes, and get headers, and 999kb of body.

I just set up my two gmail addys a day ago, I did a hard reset to fix a few issues, all I do is put in my gmail addy, and password when it asks, and it working in minutes.

I didn't pay special attention to your carriers, but I think I might have had issues when I used medianet wap@cingular, I pay for the pdaconnect plan now, resco radio wouldn't work on wap either.

I dunno what to tell you for sure, but if any of you use cingular, you might give the isp@cingular settings a try, but I wouldn't plan on using them permanently you might get a crazy bill.

I'm sure the other carriers have corresponding settings, and I'm just guessin the problem, but that is the only possible difference in our devices, and I'm not sure about your connection.

edit: I don't think any of you are on cingular, I seen tmobile, but I really don't have any ideas on what all the different carriers offer.

Just make sure in GMail on your c mputer you go to settings, tab forward and pop and set up gmail to forward messages to POP ONLY from now on. If you have a lot of messages in Gmail it will take forever otherwise.

Hope this helps.

Actually found a way to get it to work

Gonna try sky mobile jar using this technique too.

[joedoe]

msmobiles.com says that the latest version (6.1) of the IBM J9 JVM for CLDC runs Gmail just fine. Have anyone tried it?

[dazzled]

Yes it works, anyone know of a good link to d/l the jar file for sky by mobile

[dazzled]

UPDATE
Tried doing sky by mobile app using this method can enter login details but cannot click or use the login key on screen so same as manually installing the jar using default midlet app, very annoying so close yet so far.

TyTN already does have Java VM installed.

Correct, I just installed it for nothing. :rolleyes:

[szlevi]

TyTN already does have Java VM installed.

Then why mine wasn't able to run Gmailapp until I have installed a Java VM?

[joedoe]

You haven't install a Java VM but one more Java VM, which runs Java applications in a different way.

Possibly but it still doesn't answer the question: why was my TyTn unable to run any Java with its shipping OS?

[joedoe]

It DOES run Java midlets

[szlevi]

Yours - *it* (mine) DOESN'T.

[joedoe]

Well, I'm sorry for your's then :>)
