Problems using Gmail account on Iphone

Hey guys,
i have recently set up a gmail account and when i try to set it up on my iphone, i am recieving error messages that it cannot use SSL and asks if i want to try to set up with account w/o it and then when i say yes, it gives me a cannot verify IMAP message
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

(Fortunately, despite living in Boston, I'm not one to hold a grudge against your nic. )
Have you gone to settings in Gmail (accessed via a web browser from your computer) - click Settings (upper right) > Forwarding and POP/IMAP and made sure IMAP is enabled?

  • Problem with gmail account on iPhone

    I didn't know if anyone else is having problems with gmail or not. I have other accounts setup on iPhone, and I'm not having any problems with them. When I try to access my gmail my phone is freezing up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I periodically get a freeze of either my iPhone or VZW Treo when it hangs getting Gmail. Most of the time, it works without a hitch - other times, access to Gmail is a PITA, and once in a while, it's hanging my phones up.
    I've had Gmail go sideways on me a few times, buddies of mine say they're having no problems at the same time. Once in awhile, they'll call me to ask if I'm having problems (I'm not) but they can't get their messages for hours. Go figure. YMMV.

  • HT1495 how to delete apps when using one account for iphone 4s and ipod4, can delete from phone but not ipod

    How do we delete apps from ipod 4 when using same account as iphone 4s, we can delete from the phone but not the ipod, and when i get an app on my phone it automatically comes up on the ipod and visa versa, now ipod is full,

    Read the article from which the thread was posted, it clearly defines how to use multiple iDevices on a single computer.
    Sharing an Apple ID is not an issue.

  • HT201320 Added a gmail account on iPhone IOS 7 software.

    Added a gmail account on iPhone IOS 7 software.  Success but it downloaded over 163,000 emails. How can I restrict it to downloading only the most recent 50?

    Thanks.  It did not happen in IOS 6.1.  I am going to check around.

  • Using gmail with my iphone 4S (7.0.4) I accidentally selected "archive message".  I see no archive folder.  Where can I see/retrieve those emails?

    Using gmail with my iphone 4S (7.0.4) I accidentally selected "archive message" for several emails.  I see no archive folder.  Where can I see/retrieve those archived emails?

    Thank you!  However, those emails, along with all other mail is sent to the All Mail Folder and difficult to track or isolate.  Looking through hundreds of emails at a later time in All Mail to find what I mistakenly designated as archive is very cumbersome.  Why would the system designate an email as archived if it has no dedicated location?

  • Problems checking gmail account using Safari

    Hi there! I am having problems checking my gmail account using Safari. I can get to the site, log in, but as soon as it starts loading the page, my safari just freezes. Does anyone else have this same problem? If anyone knows a solution, i would greatly appreciate a little help. Also, i've relocated to another country, so i don't have access to an apple support center. but i would really like to get this problem solved on my own. Thanks much!!

    Hi Louisa,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Could you download and install Opera and see if it does the same using this alternative web browser.
    Here's a link for you: http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?opsys=MacOS&lng=en&ver=7.54u2&platform=M acOS&local=y
    Let us know the results.

  • Two inboxes for my Gmail account in iPhone mail

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and found one problem. I set up my Gmail account on my iPhone and see two inboxes for it. They are identical, I delete one mail in one inbox, the deleted mail disappear in the other inbox too. It's not a big problem just kind of annoying thing.
    Does anyone here has the same problem?

    I had the same issue.
    I eventually fixed it by setting up my email from scratch, after removing it from my IOS device, but this time set it up using "Other" rather then "Gmail". I used the details from http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799 (if this link does not appear in English, try searching for IMAP settings in GMail's help). After set-up I had to match sent, drafts and deleted folders with the ones on the server. I also had to close e-mail and settings apps, start e-mail, sync all, then go to settings again in order for the IMAP folders to appear in the advanced settings for matching.
    Note, using IMAP like this may require an update of your GMail settings on how to delete vs. archive mail when using IMAP, or you may end up never deleting e-mail unintentionally.

  • Trouble using Gmail account... what's wrong?

    When I use gmail for POP my iPhone grabs all the mail from my entire account. How do I get it to only grab what is new/in my inbox?

    see, now... i totally did that.
    pardon me if i was incomplete. i'll recreate my steps here, and thanks for the patience, whomever is reading (PTBoater, of course, included)...
    i synched all my gmail accounts will nilly from itunes. then today i noticed the problem. so, i deleted the accounts, went into gmail and made that very change. then i tried both 1) letting the itunes interface resync my email and 2) deleting the accounts and setting it up from within the phone.
    both times resulted in the hugely full mailbox.
    any thoughts? did i do something wrong?

  • Sending mail with BPEL - using GMail account

    Tried to send an email via BPEL. I use my Gmail Account - which I've setup to use POP for outgoing mail.
    I've changed the settings in ns_emails accordingly:
    <EmailAccounts xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/pcbpel/NotificationService"

    But when I check the domain.log and it states that it still doesn't work:
    Domain.log:
    Notification via voice, fax, SMS, IM or pager will be sent.
    Emails will be sent with the current settings. If you would like to enable them, please configure accounts in ns_iaswconfig.xml and then set the NotificationMode attribute in ns_emails.xml to either NONE, EMAIL or ALL.
    Should I change somethin in iaswconfig.xml - and if yes - what?

    Hi, Henrik:

  • Problem adding gmail account   with Exchange.  Please help?

    I have a 4s thru AT&T.  I set up a mail account using GMail's server, then entered my gmail info, and it worked.  However, my emails were not coming to the iPhone until I opened the mail app.  In other words, I didn't hear a ding and alert that a new Gmail had arrived.  Messages were NOT being pushed.
    So I read up on this, and eveyone said to set up gmail via the EXCHANGE account,(not the gmail account) under Settings>Mail>Add Account>EXCHANGE now instead of gmail).  If I set up my Gmail via Exchange, then I should get messages pushed.
    So I did all that, and for the server, I entered m.google.com.   This setup is covered all over the place and looks easy.  However, when I am done, and try to open/send anything, it says Cannot Get Mail.  The connection to the server failed.  Postitive that my names and passwords are right.  No typos anywhere.
    Gmail connects me fine when I add account via gmail.   But Gmail will not connect when I add account Via Exchange.

    It should push by default, as Gmail is an iMAP account that supports push.   You could go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data and confirm that Push is set to On.
    I have see a number of posts recently, however, about Gmail push not working for people.  Suggest you search these forums or Googles support forum to see if there's a solution.

  • Setting up gmail account on iPhone.

    Hi, I have a new iphone and I'm trying to set up my gmail existing account. I'm using the same gmail password that I'm using to access my gmail account on my Mac Book laptop, but my phone keeps rejecting the password. I don't have any other passwords so I'm not sure of what to do or whom to ask for advice. I'm hoping there is someone clever and helpful out there in Apple Land who can point me in the right direction. Many thanks, your answers are very much appreciated. Martina.

    Copied from Google Support:
    Invalid Password Prompt. If you see an error message that reads "Invalid Password", it's likely that you'll need to unlock your account by solving a short CAPTCHA. Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha and, if asked to, fill in your email address, password, and the letters in the CAPTCHA box.
