Hi Friends,

I have Sony Ericsson K810i Cyber-shot phone. I have configured GMail IMAP4 account. The problem is that i can download e mails but when i try to send or reply then i get " SENDING SERVER NOT FOUND " error.

First i changed Outgoing Server Encryption from TLS to SSL. Then changed port address. SMTP server on port 465 (with SSL) and port 587 (with TLS), but still having trouble sending mail. Then i configure SMTP to use port 25 (with SSL).

Still having Problems. Please help.

What is your server url?

Posted by akhie
It's normal server setting for Gmail..

incoming : imap.gmail.com
outgoing : smtp.gmail.com

Posted by tursut
Strange...
Try to save the message in the outbox ("Options" -> "Save to outbox" in the send confirmation screen. Then try Send & Receive.

oh by the way,the exact settings as above worked on my P990,but not on my K800...what's the problem???

Posted by sranjanm2002
Same settings are working in my K810i. I guess you have to try different ports. All info is on Google page.

This setting below works 100 % fine to (send and receive) email's on my K800i


Step 1: Enabling IMAP4

Log into Gmail and enable IMAP4 for your account. Click on ‘settings’ in the top right hand corner and click on the ‘Forwarding and IMAP4’ tab.

Step 2: Download and install Security Certificate

You need to download and install 2 certificates.

1.Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.cer and 2.ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer,

Links:

http://members.cox.net/mynameisdavid...rtificates.zip

http://www.badongo.com/file/11464943

http://www.FreeUploadShare.com/DOWNLOAD/ad168601/certificates.zip

To install the certificates either send them to the phone using Bluetooth or by USB. Follow the on screen phone instructions.

Step 3:Setting on the Mobile

This is my gmail setting on my K800i:

Navigate to Messaging>Email>Settings>

Create a new account

(If you have already created an account, then just edit that account and the enter the following settings)

Account Name: Gmail

Email Alert: (What ever you want to assign)

Connect Using : (Your Dataline Connection)

Email Address : youremail@gmail.com

Connection Type:IMAP4

Imcomming Server: imap.gmail.com

User Name:youremail@gmail.com

Password: ******** (ur password)

Outgoing Server:smtp.gmail.com

Advance Settings:

Your Name: yourname

Signature : ---------

Download S&R : Subjects Only

Check interval : Off

Push Email: On

Allow Connection : Home Network

Copy Outgoing : Off

Encryption TLS/SSL

Outgoing Username: youremail@gmail.com

Outgoing Password: ******** (ur password)

Incomming Port: 993

Outgoing Port: 587


If you are not sucessfull in setting up the Gmail on ur SE mobile u have 2 more alternatives: (this is the easiest way to Gmail)

1.You can always use your mobile web browser to log in to www.gmail dot com and acess your gmail.... or

2.You can download the Gmail Java client using your mobile from http://gmail.com/app.

But if you configure your mobile to receive email manually, you can send attachments from your mobile(ie: pictures,mp3 and so on),

And if you use the Java Client or Directly logging in to your mobile using your phones web browser you cannot send attachments from your mobile, you can only read and reply.

Same issue here. I can receive e-mails but have tried unsuccessfully to send e-mails. It just won't go. I will try @muzammil's steps but most of them have been done already.. Will update later...

I am using K770i and am in India on Vodafone.
I have downloaded the settings for Gmail from Sony site(they were sent to my mobile with my password and all that).
The settings they sent had pop3 server as active so I changed that to imap4 and rest of the settings as have been explained above.
My problem is that I cannot even receive emails leave alone send any... the phone displays "connecting to server" for a long while and then it is "server not found".
BTW, I tried the original settings sent to me as well but they were not working either... any suggestions???
Thanks

I did the same thing as you to my w960i.
I can receive but cannot send emails.

I found the problem and it lies with the settings SE sent.
The outgoing settings that they sent me was incorrect.

For my phone, under Messaging > Gmail > Settings > Email accounts > Gmail.

At the outbox tab, the outgoing server address, Instead of 'smtp.googlemail.com', they sent me 'smpt.googlemail.com'.

So I edited the address accordingly, checked the 'use smtp authentication' box, checked the 'use inbox login details' box and save the settings.

And I successfully sent a test mail to my hotmail.

I kinda have the same problem with my Sony Ericsson P1i when fetching my Gmail, the exact same error message appears. This only happens when I try to connect thru GPRS/3G, but there seems to be no problem when I connect thru WLAN. I didn't change any settings in my phone's email set up, it only depends on the connection type. I wana make it work with GPRS/3G connection since WLAN is not available all the time. Any suggestions so far? Thanks!

or just do what i did, use the browser and go to gmail.com, download their gmail app and u get better UI!

I have a V800 and I followed all the advice here, but when I click send&recieve, it says "Finding Server" for a few seconds, then "TSL/SSL Hanshake Failure". How can I fix this (apart from downloading the gmail app that does NOT work on the V800)?

Just configure Gmail using POP3 and not IMAP. Visit my blog and follow the steps. The link is http://sek800iemailsetup.blogspot.com. It will also give you the steps on how to configure Yahoo! Mail using IMAP.

@ All those who cannot receive/send emails via Mobile Email Client

Although you might have the correct setting for your mailbox, you may not connect to the server if your mobile carrier does not support Port Forwarding or something like that.

Unfortunately I cannot use the email client too snif snif :'(
