Can't set up Gmail on BB Curve

I'm going insane! I'm trying to get gmail set up. I downloaded the mobile app for gmail, but everytime I try to log in so I can actually create a gmail address, I keep getting the message "This program requires a working data connection. Please check your signal strength." My connection works fine for going anywhere else with the internet. I googled this problem and it said something about service books. So I logged on to my BB internet service account and "sent servicebooks". That didn't work.
Help!

I recommend that you use a PC to create a Gmail account (and email address). Then go into email setup on your BB Curve and setup your new xxxx.gmail.com address from there. Then you should be able to associate the account using the Gmail app.
FYI, service books are tied to the email address so if you did not have a Gmail address established there would have been no service book to update.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

Can't set up Gmail on new iPad 2?

Hi, I just bought my wife a gently used iPad 2 for Christmas. I'm out of town on a business trip, so I thought I'd spend the week getting it all set up for her so it's ready to rock 'n roll when she unwraps it.
I can't get her Gmail account to work. I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, and Calendars>Add Account>Gmail and enter all the information, and eventually I get an alert about not being able to set up the account using SSL, do I want to set it up without SSL? If I click "Yes," then I get a warning that I may not be able to send and receive mail from the account (and, in fact, I can neither send nor receive messages). If I click "No," then it just sends me back to the account details entry panel.
I know the account info is correct because I logged in with the same credentials on my laptop. The hotel wi-fi connection is wonky, so I went over to Staples and tried it there. I think it works, because I was able to use iCloud to sync her photos (the ones on her iPhone immediately showed up on the iPad), and the App store worked, and a couple of other things. However, the Gmail account just would not function, even after removing it and re-entering the information a few times.
Also had the same thing happen with the DirecTV for iPad app; it took my account login stuff and then gave me an endless "Retrieving account details..." spinner. I let it think for 10 minutes before just giving up and coming back to the hotel.

Can't set up gmail on playbook

I have been trying without success to add gmail to my playbook. I keep getting the following message: "Your login information for IMAP server (imap.gmail.com) has changed or is incorrect. Please check your account settings."
I do not have 2 step verification for gmail, and I can log in from my desktop without issues. I was also able to set up gmail on my iphone without difficulty.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem. I tried hard reboot. I also looked for security settings to setting, but do not see anything that I could change to have any effect.
What security settings did you change?

Can I set up gmail from my "mail" application?

I have wireless and I use airport etc to get the internet in my building. I am trying to set up gmail with POP and every time I do I cannot receive any emails although I can send emails out from my mail application with gmail-any ideas as to why I cannot receive emails would be appreciated... or can I ask an apple technician about this problem?

Did you follow the directions given at Gmail on how to set-up?
Let us know the setting from preferences/accounts so we can see if anything is incorrect. Frequently it is needing to have the server port changed. Mine is at 587, and all is working fine. Feel free to hide the info you prefer not to share, an example "username"@gmail.com.

Can't set up gmail on iphone

I am having trouble setting up gmail on my iphone

If you changed your password, and you have 2 step authentication turned on, you need to generate a new device specific password for the phone.
See the help pages at mail.google.com.

How can I set up Gmail on my iPhone with a different domain name?

I'm an ASU student so my email ends in @asu.edu. However its a Gmail account and I just got a new iPhone and I would really like to set it up through the mail app but it won't let me. Every time I type my email and password in the phone says: "The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect"...but I know it isn't. Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks!

This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail. Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account? It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting. It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

Can't set up gmail account in 10.7.5 Apple Mail

Mail on my daughter's MB deals with her Yahoo account splendidly. But when I tried to add her gmail account, it balked. I accessed gmail via the web and turned on IMAP and save changes, then I added the account. The response was that Mail couldn't access gmail because either the username or password was wrong. So I tried the same whole routine, except this time setting it up as a POP account. Same lack of joy. I shut down and restarted. I repaired permissions. I even found a seemingly smart person on another thread who asked the other person with a similar problem to do a Lookup in Network Utility. So I did, and what I got from that effort (below) looks to me like the computer can find gmail without any difficulty.
So I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is your daughter using 2-step Verification on her gmail account? If yes, then you need to create app-specific password to be able to use mail application. More info and how to on Google documentation page.

Can't set up Gmail in Mail 3.5

Hi,
I cannot set up either POP nor IMAP. I get the error message: Trying to log on to IMAP (or POP) failed. But my user and password are correct.
Interestingly, I didn't receive a testmail from googlemail to my old mail address either. What is wrong?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
I just got a Mac for a first time and I'm trying to configure Mail 3.5 with my gmail account and even after having followed all the steps seen on this forum, I just can't do it. The messages that come up are:
"The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages"
AND
"The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to send messages"
it might be very basic but I can't manage. Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance!!

Can't set up gmail account of Pre2

I have four accounts. Three Google Apps account and one Gmail account
I have set up the three google apps accounts OK. and they seem to work :-)
However, when I try to add the @gmail.com account it simply just hangs when I click on the "Create" button. If I close the card, then the account remains only partly created. i.e. it appears to be there, but I dont get any emails and I cannot view any of the folders if I click on the down-arrow to view them.
How can I add this account?

I can not set up Gmail account in Thunderbird

Hi all!
I just installed Thunderbird but I could not set up my Gmail account within it. Every time I try to configure my Gmail account, it always says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" but my username and password are both correct. I have tried to set up other Gmail accounts and it says the same. I wonder is there any conflict between Gmail and Thunderbird. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advanced :)
You can see my problem in this picture:

Can't set up gmail on my iPhone 4S

I had the gmail setup right after I purchased this iPhone 4S all of a sudden it is now telling me that imap username and or password is wrong. Is there something I might have done for it to start saying this? I have also done the verification thing and they know I am not a spammer, they know it's me, so I have done that. Anyone have any ideas about what might be the problem? Or what I should do next?

Go to gmail.com and sign in to your email account. (you can use the Safari App on the iPad for this part if you like).
Click on your picture or sillohette image in the top right and select Account.
Click Security on the top bar and see if two-step verification is enabled.
If it is enabled (which it sounds like it is) you can either:
1) Disabled it.
2) Follow the steps within to create an App Specific password for you new iPhone (this is how Google does two-step verification for Apple Mail instead of sending you a SMS text with a verifiaciton code everytime you open the Mail App)
For more information, here is the Google help page on this issue: https://support.google.com/accounts/topic/28786?hl=en&ref_topic=3382253
