imap gmail

---

Hello,

I'm having problems setting up my gmail account on my device with dutty's latest supported ROM. I cannot select the account type to imap although I typed it correctly in the box above. It just wouldn't allow me to select anything. Please see picture below

I appreciate any help

setup a fictious email as if it wasnt gmail....ie user@rmail.com

that way it wont find the auto settings for gmail.

then you should be able to pick imap as your protocol.

This problem isn't specific to Dutty's ROM and should not be in the ROM development forum. I've moved this thread to Kaiser general...

FWIW, if this thread *was* specific, it should have been posted as a reply in Dutty's thread.

hi there, i dont think my answer has much to do with your post. however, i am using a free service called www.mail2web.com to get my gmail...its a free exchange server...go check it out...


thanks

its a wm6.1 "issue" if you want to call it an issue. as long as it knows the email address it will use its auto config file. so you need to fool it....give it an address it DOES NOT know...then it will give you the option to manually configure.

so instead of listing iloverza@gmail.com......list iloverza@gmail.comm. the next screen will give you options to set it up manually...there you can also change the email address back to what its supposed to be. also make sure you're using imap....enable it in the gmail settings.

your servers will be this..... imap.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587

enjoy
