Problem setting up Gmail--Help!

I seem to be having issues setting up Gmail. I set up my Yahoo mail account with no issues but Gmail keeps failing. I'm correctly entering my account name and password but verification--both in SSL and non-SSL fails each time. My gmail account is set to accept POP3. Anyone else run into this and what worked?
I need to get Gmail going so I can handle my work Exchange mail via the redirect option. (Forced to use an icky Dell on non-IMAP-friendly exchange server at work)
Thanks!!

Hi PT,
I've been using the GMail shortcut--although I have tried once through the Other shortcut.
I've tried to set up both my existing Gmail account (had forever) and a brand new 'clean' account. Both have POP enabled.
Each time, the iPhone tries to verify account info. After an interval, I get a "Cannot Connect Using SSL -- Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?". I've clicked cancel and tried again and clicked yes (try without SSL) and neither work. I get an "Account Verification Failed" message.
I've tried this while on work wireless, home wireless and EDGE.
Additional information:
When I first set up my iPhone, I set up my Y mail account without a hitch.
Thanks for pitching in!
Teri

  • Problem setting up Gmail on KIN TWOm

    Very happy with my KIN TWOm - got my Zune setup, go to set up my Hotmail, perfect...but they I try to set up Gmail and it says "Not Set Up - There was a problem setting up your account.  Try again later".  When I call Verizon they tell me, "You must be typing in the wrong email or the wrong password."  It's been the same email for the last 5 years and I check it everyday - I think I've got it down.  When I kept complaining, they sent me to ADVANCED TECH SUPPORT were I was told to pull the battery out and restart the phone...when that did nothing I was told to change my Gmail password.  I wasn't surprised when that didn't work.  After all this I was told I should contact Gmail because it sounds like a problem on their end.  Here's the issue; they didn't make the phone, why would they know how to help?  The KIN website is no more - no help to be found with Sharp or Microsoft, so I guess this is my last chance - Anyone had the same issue, if so how can I fix it?

    You should not need to enable IMAP/POP to use your gmail account w/ the Kin. I personally use gmail, so it is the only email service i can verify works fine with the Kin email app. First, make sure you have an internet connection. That can be wifi, or the 3g network (i would suggest wifi; block 3G is my advice). Once you are sure you have a connection (try connecting to a few pages in the browser; don't rely on the little 3G icon), click on the email app icon, then click the Gmail icon. It will ask for 3 options: a name (i'm not sure if this has to match your email account's name, character for character; but i know mine does, so you might as well enter it as the same name as the one under your gmail account just in case),  the email address (including @gmail.com), and your password, which is case-sensitive, has to include all the symbols/numbers, etc.
    It should be as easy as that. The only problem i can see occurring is if your phone isn't actually connected to a wifi connection and has no connection to the internet, or if it does matter that the name you enter has to match the email account's name, but i don't understand why it would have to match, but then again it wouldn't be the first time Microsoft did something unexplainably weird.

  • Mail Opening Problems & Setting up GoogleMail - Help Please

    I have just bought the new 24" iMac.
    I have imported my old email, no problem.
    When I open mail, the app opens but not the mail window, to do this I have to click 'New Viewer Window'. How do I get Mail to open as a window?
    I am also trying to set up my googlemail account.
    I have enabled IMAP in my googlemail and saved changes. I have chosen the Account Type IMAP, description 'GoogleMail', Incoming Mail Server: imap.googlemail.com, my googlemail email address, my googlemail password and clicked 'Continue'.
    The mail windows just says 'checking connection to mail server imap.googlemail.com...' but that is as far as it will go.
    Please will you help me to: when I click on 'Mail' the Mail window opens, and connect to googlemail?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

    I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
    Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks

    If the screen appears zoomed in then try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers (with zoom 'on' you need to use 3 fingers to drag around the screen), and then go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn Zoom 'off', and possibly also change what Triple-Click Home is set to.

  • I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses. One is personal the other is business. When I send emails from the business address, any auto-replies I get COME TO THE PERSONAL INBOX. I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

    I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses.
    One is personal the other is business.
    When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.
    I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

    Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

    Your problem started when you decided that compiling and installing pacman from a source tarball was a good idea. Fix that first.

  • I had no problem setting up my pop mail account for my primary email, but cannot set up a 2nd pop account for my secondary account. I'm using Ipad2. Can you help?

    I cannot seem to set up a 2nd pop account on my Ipad2. No problems setting up the primary but the secondary keeps telling me that either username or password is incorrect. Both are correct. It's driving me crazy. Can someone help?
    Thanks!

    Maybe I'm not following completely, but you can configure email accounts manually, if you want. Just hold down the Option key when you click Continue on the first screen. You can then choose the type of account and set up the servers as you like.
    This help page seems to think you can still use POP with Yahoo.

  • I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
