Setting up Gmail on iPad2

I have tried to set up my gmail account on the ipad 2 I put in the correct credentials yet I get a pop up that says that the user name and password are not correct. I have logged on from another iPad and a computer to verify that the settings are correct. Pop and imap are enabled

I had the same problem and I think I just solved it.
I used the Gmail configuration (not Exchange), with [email protected] as username. But instead of my regular password, I used a Application-specific password.
Go to https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodeshttps://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes :
Generate a new application specific password by choosing a name (like IPAD2) and click on the icon.
You will get a 16 digit code:
Use this new code as your gmail password while configuring your account on the ipad and it will work!!

I hope that works for you guys! Happy new year!

Since upgrading to FF5, "mailto" links no longer work - my "tools/options/applications/mailto" is set to gmail.

Since upgrading to FF5, "mailto" links no longer work - my "tools/options/applications/mailto" is set to gmail.
Previously, when I clicked onto an email link, my gmail would open up.
Now, nothing happens.

Please do the following. 
#Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and then click '''Tools '''and go to '''Internet Options'''. 
#Click the ''Programs ''tab and where you see "Email", choose your email client. 
#Remove the checkmark from where it says "''Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser''" in the same menu. 
#Click Apply/OK and close Internet Explorer. 
#Next, start Firefox and click the orange Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced'''. 
#In the '''General '''tab, '''System Defaults''' at the bottom, checkmark the option: "'''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup'''" and then click the "''Check Now''" button. 
#Click OK, close Firefox and then restart it again.
You should now have a mailto: option in the Applications panel.

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

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas?

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

How do I set up gmail not to download messages on iPhone

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully this is just a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Here is the setup:
1. I have a number of email accounts that I manage on an Google Apps account (e.g. [email protected]; [email protected], etc)
2. I have set up gmail accounts so the key messages I want to read end up from the google apps account in my main @gmail.com.
3. I would like to use my iPhone to send from both my mail @gmail.com as well as my google apps account (e.g. from [email protected] "Uncle Mike for my birthday I'd like a pony" attached a picture of a pony)
I have therefore setup my main @gmail account in iOS mail and my other Google Apps accounts that I want to use (e.g. [email protected]) syncing only mail.
The challenge is that I get repeated emails (because [email protected] forwards to @gmail.com) on my iOS device. I've set up filters in Gmail to mark as read and archive the messages before they are forwarded for the Google Apps accounts, but they still keep on being downloaded.
Any suggestions on how to force iOS Mail app not download them? Or is there a special Gmail side filter I can use?
BR,
AK

Move them to a folder that is stored locally, rather than on the email server.
Reading between the lines, I guess your account uses IMAP, where the design philosophy is to store all messages on the server. Since your client shows what's on the server, when you delete a message, it vanishes both on the server and in the client.
The Local Folders "special" account in Thunderbird is provided for this very purpose, amongst others.
See the last item under "Uses for Local Folders" here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

I have the same problem. I tried hard reboot. I also looked for security settings to setting, but do not see anything that I could change to have any effect.
What security settings did you change?

Can't set up gmail on iphone

If you changed your password, and you have 2 step authentication turned on, you need to generate a new device specific password for the phone.

Cannot Set-up gmail in iPhone 5

Hi
This is Sunil Akella from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
I have recently purchased iPhone-5, and I am not able to set-up gmail account. A smart phone without personal email account is very embarassing to maintain.
I connected to Wifi in my organization, and ensured I am able to connect to the internet and I followed below steps to set-up gmail account.
1- Touch on Mail Icon
2- Select Gmail
3- Provided Name, email, Password and "Next" button.
Now at this stage it pops-up a message saying " Cannot connect Using SSL.. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL ? Yes/ No
4- I selected Yes
After sometime, one more pop-up message appeared saying
" The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field"
I really don't understand, when I am able access any site from the Safari browser in my iPhone, why it says "check your network connection"
I have ensured in my gmail settings : General-:>Browser Connection-> Selected the option : "Don't always use HTTPS"
Forwarding and IMAP/POOP -> IMAP Access : Status says- IMAP is enabled
Please help me in resolving this issue.

I bought an Iphone 5s and just tried to add my google calendar -extra easy to do in an old fashion Samsung, but in the iphone I got this message:
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL, Y/N
I click yes
Then I got a second message
The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field.
I clicked OK and nothing happened.
Please help.
I am starting feeling a bit disappointed.

I have opened an email account with gmail on the Google website. I have tried to set this gmail account to open in my Mac mail, but it will not receive emails and is telling me that port 110 has timed out. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Hi, so you set it up as POP instead of IMAP?
If POP, is the 2nd method here how you did it?

Also...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

Setting up gmail on iphone or ipad

Your account has most likely been locked by Google. Google does this quite often when setting up mail on a mobile device to stop spammers. That link should have provided you with info on how to unlock your account. Google used to have a captcha unlock page. Look here:
