Cant access school e-mail on iPod Touch. Uses Gmail.

Hey,
I have a school e-mail ([email protected]) and cant get it to work with the mail app. I followed google's instructions on their page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814) and have imap enabled on my iPod. But it cant connect.
I tried using POP and imap. It will either say my password is not correct, or it cant connect to imap.google.com. I know the password is correct, it works perfectly fine when I try and access it through safari on the touch. I do have a always on internet connection (connect through a Apple AirPort Extreme, to my modem)
My AOL and Yahoo accounts work perfectly fine. But this one dosent. Is there any way to get it to work?

Hi, panther007:
I use Mail on my touch to get to my Google Apps Gmail account, so I know it works.
Check all settings in Settings/Mail, COntacts, Calendars/your account.
imap.google.com is correct if it is an IMAP account (of course... you can check this via the web or your school's help desk).
Then go to Advanced. I have Use SSL selected, Authentication: Password, and server port 993.

  • Cannot set up mail on iPod Touch using Mac's AirPort WI-FI.

    This is FYI. My problem has been fixed so this might help someone. I could not set up my mail account on my new iPod Touch using my home Mac's AirPort WI-FI. I do not have a separate wireless router. I am running Tiger OSX 10.4.11 with an iMac. Safari and You Tube, etc. on the Touch was working fine. I kept getting "cannot connect using SSL" and "POP server...is not responding." I found out, by myself, that if I turned off my firewall on the Mac, my email account set up and I could receive and send emails. I also found out if I set up the account on another WI-FI, it would work. I don't like to turn off the firewall, so I won't check my email on my Touch using my Mac's WI-FI.

    A bit more info...
    The error message says -
    Cannot Send Mail
    The connection to the outgoing server "smpt.me.com" failed.
    My server setting is smpt.me.com
    SSL is turned on.
    Port 587
    Sever is turned on
    All the settings below the server on/off switch are greyed out so i cannot edit them myself.
    The ipod touch is brand new yesterday and up to date with the latest software.

  • Can you send e-mails from ipod touch using a .mac alias?

    hi everyone,
    i have a number of .mac email aliases set up on my email account, for instance for signing up to websites. when i send e-mail on my mac, i can select which alias i want the e-mail to be sent from. however, i don't seem to have that option on my ipod touch - mail is automatically sent from my main mac.com e-mail address.
    is there anyway to send e-mail from one of my .mac aliases on my ipod touch?

    Not at this time, no. You can submit a feature request to Apple:

    i have started the guided access and that time my ipod touch 3 battery gets over now i cant close my ipod or cannot restore it

    Without knowing what happens when you try to restore the iPod
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • E-mail with ipod touch

    Can one use e-mail on ipod touch? If so how? Can you use MS Outlook? If not how can you access your e-mail?
    Thanks

    There is no "built in" email software. You can use Safari to check email online though. Gmail and .Mac work well. I can check my Groupwise and outlook work accounts because they have a web based interface. Most employers provide a web based interface.

  • Cant sign in the game center ipod touch 4G...

    Cant sign in the game center ipod touch 4G... and its not accepting to create a new account..While creating a new account its returning the main page....
    I cant able to log in game center using existing apple username and password

    Hi Sanfran49,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use the Apple ID you created on your laptop with Game Center on your iPhone. See the Apple ID FAQs for more information:
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.

  • Recently Apple have blocked my account for no particular reason so i had made another account because I couldn't access it i backed my ipod touch 4g to my new account and transferred my games and found out i couldnt update them because i dont own them

    Recently Apple have blocked my account for no particular reason so i had made another account because I couldn't access it i backed my ipod touch 4g to my new account and transferred my games and found out i couldnt update them because i dont own the full version of this game can anyone help please get back to me !

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    You need to reactivate your first account.
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

  • Setting up Mail on iPod Touch with a POP server

    I can create an email account setup on my iPod Touch using my ISPs' POP connection. However if I go onto my wifes' MacBook or my MacBook Pro under Mail it shows the messages as still being unread. Is there any solution to this issue, so that once I read an email on my iPod Touch it will also show read (or deleted for that matter) on my other Macs?

    Hey bluespower,
    The messages on the POP server cannot be marked as read in Mail on your mac after being read on the iPod touch. This is a limitation of a POP email account. You can setup an IMAP account with .Mac, Gmail, or Yahoo! and have this feature. This article will provide more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51729
    If you goto Settings> Mail> tap the account> Advanced, you'll see options for deleting emails from the server using the iPod touch.
