Discussion: email setup issues with Gmail

"i downloaded the gmail client from gmail directly, and it works fine. It puts an app that starts when you go to java in your apps folder. It works just like the messaging app, and you can give it a voicetag to get to it quickly.

Which devices work with the Gmail for mobile application?

The Gmail for mobile application works with most Java-enabled mobile devices. Listed below are mobile devices which are known to support Gmail. If your device isn't one of them, it's still possible that Gmail will work on your device. In either case, you can download the application by visiting http://gmail.com/app using your mobile phone's web browser. View the full device requirements.

Note: The Gmail application doesn't currently work with BREW-based mobile providers (e.g. Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular). We're currently only able to support users in the United States."

"My problem is that although i can receive gmails on dash, i can never send email out from the account. I check all my settings on gmail and dash, they seem to be correct. It would just go to the outbox and never get sent. Somethimes it says "verify you have network coverage", but not always. Does anybody have suggestions? Thanks so much!"

"I'm having this exact same issue currently. My Dash has Windows Mobile 6 installed and I'm connecting to Gmail through the Messaging application, which I find more convenient than the current incarnation of Gmail Mobile.

For some stupid reason, each time it checks mail, it'll download new mail (if any), but will clear out any and all old email regardless whether it's been read or not. If it checks email before I get to read it, it wipes it off the smartphone. It doesn't even show up in Deleted Mail."

"This is the best way to get your gmail. It is SO easy to use and you don't have to worry about setting up everything through your phone. I find it easier to use since it's similar to the gmail.com interface."

"use the "Google" settings when you setup your gmail, and then put the username as "recent:yourusernamehere@gmail.com" instead of "yournamehere@gmail.com".

The only issue with having GMAIL POP3 on your Dash is that all your sent items will be delivered to your inbox as well, so you have to manually delete them."
