Gmail on WM

[E.Bonobox]

Gents,

i can not run Gmail on my HTC.
What i mean is that the website works fine but i can not install the Java Applet to use Gmail faster and smarter.

Anyone has the same problem?
How to sort it out?

thanks

Why not configure the outlook on your PDA to connect whith IMAP to the gmail server?

There are apps for the threaded view in outlook for WM6, and if I remember correctly WM 6.1 supports it natively...

i don't want to be boring but i can't understand why this f.... htc could not download this aplet:
Could some one try?

Just open this link from the mobile gmail.com/app

Answer: HTC products aren't simple phones that need shitty JAVA apps to access services... And I'm sure as hell I wouldn't want to use a JAVA app for checking my mail, when the Pocket Outlook does a great job. Also there was no JAVA enviroment included until WM6 came (and some WM5 distributions).

btw, it is working for me....

Hello, i'm french, so sorry for my english.
I had a problem with gmail too, but i tried a solution and it was a success.
I downloaded "opera mini" (java app).
i launched "opera mini" and used it to download gmail app.

The default file that is downloaded from the gmail site is a *.jad file, this file contains information about the the actual program file (*.jar), like where is it found, size, author,...
If you open the *.jad file whith the included JAVA enviroment, it should automatically download the *.jar file and install it. Through the installation it should ask about internet connections, and about access priviliges.
Also applets that use the web connection need to be confirmed each time they want to connect.
The method of how do you download the *.jad file shouldn't matter, because the JAVA enviroment App handles it, not the browser....

SORTED OUT

the problem is the Italian version of the Applet Java.
I have tried the english version and works fine.

VERY GOOD!!!

I don't understand why people go with Java apps when there's an alternative PPC app that will do the same thing.

For example users in the US/UK that install Google Maps over Microsoft Live Search. I'm all for Google products, but credit is given where credit's due, and Live Search absolutely kills Google Maps.

I've tried using GMail through my WM device before and the reason why i don't use it is that when I send an E-Mail to someone I always get a copy of what i just sent arriving in my inbox again. it's annoying, the Java Client is much better. :)

Then leave the POP3 configuration and use IMAP

It has only advantages over the POP3, more secure, more functions,...

Hi guys !
Has anyone found a solution to create a "Push mode" on GMAIL mobile ? My problem is that with the SFR contract (Illimythics), the web can only be accessed on http (wap SFR) => & therefore, you can't setup a classic Outlook/Pop mailbox.

You're then obliged to use a GMAIL app. but :
1) with the standard configuration, each time GMAIL connects to the Internet, you'll need to allow it (first message "MIDIet Gmail pas fiable needs to send & receive..." bla bla; and then ""Yes, but ask me at next session")

2) You have each time to refresh your mailbox manually...

So many clicks simply to get your e-mails..

Thanks for your help !

There isn't a Push Mail option for GMAIL (like whith exchange mail servers), also I'm not form France, but are you sure about neither POP3 nor IMAP protocolls available for you, only HTTP/HTTPS?

Hi,

I´ve been using Gmail push with seven (community.seven.com) and also with mobipush.com

Both work very well for me. And push is in real time.
I just thought it could be interesting to let you know.

I, for one, don't like to use a 3rd party for syncing my emails...
I use GMAILs IMAP whith SSL (can't even use it otherwise...), whith a 5 minut check interval... works like a dream....

How long does the battery last with a constant data connection?
