How to enable Google Mail on the N9

Question

So I want to turn on the Mail application with my google account. I click on the create account, select google, add my credentials and it says it's being successful. I can turn on google talk and it works without issues. However, the Mail app just continues to ask me for my password, tells me it's wrong (it's not wrong) and doesn't fetch any mail. Where is the problem and how do you fix it?

Answer 1

Try this.
But make sure what you want to do with your contacts. If you want to sync your gmail contacts to your phone and choose the mail data to remain it will delete your phone contacts. But if you select phone contacts to keep, it will update the data in the gmail.
To configure the Mail for Exchange application for Google Sync, follow these steps:
Open the MfE folder on your phone and start the Mail for Exchange application.
Select Yes when prompted to create a new Sync profile.
Configure the profile with the following settings:
* Connection
Exchange Server: m.google.com
Secure Connection: Yes
Access Point: your carrier's Internet access point
Sync while roaming: your preferred setting
Use default port: Yes
* Credentials
Username: Your full Google email address, e.g. [email protected]
Password: Your Google Account password. (If you're a 2-step verification user, please use an application-specific password instead.)
Domain: leave empty
* Sync schedule
Decide when you want synchronization to happen. Leaving this Always On will ensure your data is always current, but will also consume more battery than other settings.
* Calendar
Synchronize Calendar: Enable or disable
Sync Calendar back: your preference
Initial Sync: Decide if you want to keep existing Calendar events on your phone or replace them all with events synced from Google Calendar.
* Tasks
Synchronize Tasks: No (currently not supported by Google Sync)
* Contacts
Synchronize Contacts: Enable or Disable
Initial Sync: Decide if you want to keep existing Contacts on your phone or replace them all with contacts synced from Google.
* E-mail
Synchronize Email: Enable or Disable
E-mail address (default based on profile)
Show new mail popup (yes/no)
Use signature (default to no)
Signature
When sending mail (default: send immediately; alternative is send at next sync only)
Sync messages back (default: 3 days; alternatives are 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, all messages)
if it helps, accept as a solution and hit the star.
