[blockers]

Hi guys.

Is it possible to get my gmail account accessible from my nokia 7600?

Thanks

You can set up pop3 for your gmail account, although I don't know about phone specifics.

Setting up POP would be the best option. But there is also a java app available if your phone does not have a proper POP email client. I don't think gmail is accessable via WAP, but i believe they are working on a WAP interface. I'm suprised they have not done so already.

They have a new web based interface now that I use on my phone

i was looking at this website http://www.gmailwireless.com/ but its not actually affliated with google, and i dont really want to give my username/password to a random company...:S

when i got to gmail.com on WAP it doesnt actually show the side of the page where you log in, so i guess it isnt set up for phones... bit of a shame.

Accessing proper websites on a mobile is not only a pain on the small screen, limited browser and slow connection, but it's also very expensive due to the way the mobile networks charge normal users data usage.

Has your phone got an email application, like the 6230 etc, in the messages section? If it has you can set this up to get your Gmail.

Just like in Outlook etc, enter the Gmail server settings;

User Information
Your Name: Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the 'From:' field of outgoing messages.
Email Address: Enter your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)

Server Information
Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com

Login Information
User Name: Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com')
Password: Enter your Gmail password

- For more information, refer to Gmail help page.

You could also download and install a java email reader and use the same settings if your phone does not have email capability, but I'm sure most new Nokia's do.

Otherwise a WAP portal would be the only other viable way. That said, even if/when they do provide one, using a proper POP client would be better anyway.

Thanks for the help dom, i have entered those details in the in-built email client. However, when i go to "retrieve" it logs onto GPRS, and i get Gmail (where the website is) then a little box below; i cannot do anything on this screen. Then a minute or 2 later it says that it couldnt not retrieve.

POP is enabled in gmail

Any idea what is causing this?

if it's anything like my old 6230, it's a settings issue. Basically if you have an active GPRS connection ('G' symbol in the top left corner of the screen) when you go to retrieve you know the phone GPRS settings are okay. The screen you are seeing next shows the connection name (gmail) and the long box at the bottom is a progress bar which will fill to the right as your email is downloaded to the phone. As the progress bar is staying empy there is obviously a settings problem. Nokia are still quite basic regards email and often don't give you any kind of error message, they just sit on that screen with an empty progress bar before timing out to a general error message.

I have had exactly the same problems as you, it's just a setting somewhere.
Nokia's email client settings are a little fiddly and there are some settings which are important that are a bit hidden. It took me a while to get my Yahoo and Gmail working but it was great when it did for basic emailing.

Go to the Gmail help pages and getting all the settings. There are more than the ones I listed above, that was an example of what you need to be putting in to get you started.

You can use the following information to configure POP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server – requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server – requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com')
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)
Password: your Gmail password

Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

What network are you with? I know T-Mobile will let you set up a POP3 account so it forwards teh messages to your phone as texts.

Try changing the security settings, Gmail requires secure log in for their POP servers i belive, They also use non-standard ports, make sure you had that changed, (try urlort if theres no option for to change the port.)
