IPod Touch Mail app help

I have recently switched to google mail as Yahoo! Mail didn't work on my iPod Touch. However, google mail doesn't work either. First it tells me it can't work with the SSL port so I switched that off. Then, when it checks for new e-mail, it takes about one minute and then it just says that it can't connect to the server! Please can you advise me what to do.
From andrew

Do you have a good WiFi connection when you are configuring the email? Have you tried just syncing the email settings with iTunes (Info tab).

  • Hotmail on iPhone Or ipod touch mail app!!!

    Hey people. Im only making this post to help people out. After a lot of research and a lucky unxpected find, i discovered a way to access your hotmail account on your maill.app
    First you need to sign up for a GMX.com mail account (completely free, and EXCELLENT)
    Then once inside, you need to add a mail collector account, suck as your hotmail
    (The mail collector feature in GMX accesses your Hotmail account and downloads your email messages into the mail collector folder inside of your GMX mail account.)
    (Inside the iphone mail app, once you set up your gmx account to work with it, you will have access to a folder that is named: "Mail Collector" and inside will be all of your hotmail emails.)
    After you have signed up for a GMX email account, here is how to configure it with the Mail app:
    1. Under Settings, select "Mail", "Add Account", "Other", then "IMAP" or "POP" and use the following settings:
    Name: enter your name
    Address: your full GMX email address
    Description: GMX
    Incoming Mail Server
    Host Name: imap.gmx.com (when you're using IMAP) or
    Host Name: pop.gmx.com (when you're using POP)
    User Name: your full GMX email address
    Password: your GMX password
    Outgoing Mail Server
    Host Name: mail.gmx.com
    User Name: your full GMX email address
    Password: your GMX password
    Advanced
    Use SSL: Off (SSL only works with incoming not going, but to be sure, turn it off for both)
    Authentication: Password (both incoming/outgoing)
    Server port: 110 (incoming) and 25 (outgoing)
    If you selected to use IMAP, you can map iPod Touch folders to GMX IMAP folders. Test first if the default mapping works before changing anything.
    To change the mappings, got to Settings>Mail>GMX.
    - Select "Advanced"
    - Select "Drafts Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Drafts"
    c. Select "Sent Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Sent Mail"
    d. Select "Deleted Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Trash"
    Click on "Advanced" each time to return to the prior menu after choosing a folder

    It may have just been that this was the first sync. The messages are all there, but are in reverse order with the oldest message at the top of the stack. It is neither a small nor orderly stack. It may have been because it was the initial sync and this was the order that GMX pulled them from hotmail.
    Then there is the lag. I guess that you, like me, tested this out by sending yourself some messages "just to make sure it worked". How long did you find the lag between sending something to hotmail and recieving it through GMX? Right now, I'm sitting on 15 minutes since I sent one and it still has not arived in the GMX collector.
    Edit: Never mind on that last part. Seems Hotmail thinks something coming from my gmail account is spam. Twice. But not the ones for blue pills, lotteries from Europe, financially challenged nobility from African nations, or the young lady that wants to get to know me better if only I would stop by her site and see her new pictures.
    Thoughts?

  • IPod Touch Mail App not working

    My family just had FiOS installed a couple days ago.  It's taken my brother and I a couple days to notice that the mail apps on our iPod Touches (which worked 100% with our old Verizon DSL) are no longer working (i.e. they are no longer pushing emails from our Yahoo and GMail accounts to the iPods).
    I deleted my Yahoo account from my iPod and then tried to re-add it to see if that would fix things and the message I got from the iPod reads: "the imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field"  My brother's Touch gave him a different message regarding his Gmail account but he's not here at the moment for me to quote it directly.  Only via the wifi at work was I able to successfully re-add my Yahoo account to the iPod.  Now I'm back home again and when I try to refresh my inbox it's just "Checking for Mail..." indefinitely.
    Note that it's only the mail app that is not functioning; all the other online functionality of the iPods (Safari, Youtube, weather app, iTunes) are working 100% with FiOS.  And as I mentioned above, the mail app worked today on the wifi at work.  It's only at home with the new FiOS that the mail app on my iPod stops working.
    Any ideas?  Might there perhaps be something I can tinker with in the router settings?

    Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

  • IPod Touch mail app smarter/pushier than MacBook with Gmail?

    This overlaps multiple categories, starting inquiry here first.
    Why doesn't my MacBook's mail program update read-vs.-unread Gmail like my iPod Touch does? I read a message on the dedicated app on my 'Touch and it counts as "read" on Gmail; I read a message on my MacBook, and no, not registered as read on Gmail. Likewise, my MacBook "send" folder only has messages sent from my MacBook, not all my Gmail-sent messages. I've tried setting options to be as "pushy" as I know to make them in my MacBook, but what'm I doing wrong? Thanks for any info.

    Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

  • Is there Junk mail filtering in the ipod Touch MAIL app

    I love the junk mail filtering in my computer's version of MAIL. Does the ipod touch do this as well?

    No it does not have junk mail filtering.

  • IPod Touch mail.app problem.

    I have set up my mail account on my Mac and it works flawlessly (I've had some problems with sending mail, because my ISP has had some difficultys with it's smtp). But now, when it is working, I tried syncing my mail account to my iPod (thru iTunes). It downloads my e-mails from my school's account, but when I try to send email, it says "Error: Senders email was incorrect". Note: SENDERS. Hmm. The same account is working with out any hickups on my mac. To clarify, i'm using my schools mail server for incoming and for outgoing i'm using my ISPs smtp server. My school's smtp works only with IPs from our school's internat network, so I can't use that.

    I can't find the imessages app on my ipod touch. can u help please?

    - Try using the Spotlight search. It is likely you just can't find it.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Last, restore the iPod.

  • HT201272 I can't find my songs I just bought on my iPod touch..please help thank you

    I can't find the songs I just bought on my iPod touch. Any help you can give me is appreciated.. Thank you

    If they've finished downloading then they should be in the iPod's Music app - is that where you've looked for them ? If they don't show in there then have you tried closing the Music app via the iPod's taskbar and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPod to see if they then show up in Music ?

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

    Yeah, i found the file 'iPod touch app pack 4a93.ipa' in mobile application directory, which directory in Mac should i copy to? Is it \user\<name>\music\iTunes ?
    Hi,
    I think that is the old "January update", I'm not so sure it is necessary to transfer that one but it would go here -
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Look here for the latest 2.0 etc. updates -
    C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Even then I'm not sure even these are required but best back them up to be safe.
    I'm not sure where the go in Mac OS X though.
    I'm sure someone will let us know soon.
