I have a @gmail.com address, and according to gmail's instructions on their web page, incoming and outgoing servers should be pop.gmail.com port 995 and smtp.gmail.com port 465 or 587, so I tried those server names, and it works too. After I installed the other two certificates in the zip file as well, I donb't even get the certificate complaint when receiving gmails anymore. Thanks very much for this solution! |

I too could never get the email function to work until I stumbled on the setup system on the sony website. Found in the software section u just select your options one by one and sony send u a text with the data to install, up and running in no time. |

Please tell the revision on the firmware if it success or fail.
I cannot use gmail outgoing but incoming works even if I had done exactly
as this thread says.
I have the version R1CB001 |

Hi @lesve
My firmware version is the original R1CB001 on an unbadged unlocked K800i from O2. Currently using my work Orange SIM. Interestingly, i read on one of the google forums that the @googlemail.com is just an alternative server so the @gmail.com should work too. |

I cant get this to work for the life of me, spent 35 minutes on the phone to the retail help desk of o2 who would not for love nor money pass me onto data support. They said they would "text me" the settings
I tried going down the ericsson website route but when I fill in all the fields and press ok it texts then to me but requires a passkey. Problem is when I press ok on the website the page just goes white and it says "done" in the bottom left of the corner.
My settings are as follows for o2 contract settings:
account name: Gmail
connect using:o2 mobile web
email adress: me@googlemail.com
connection type: POP3
incoming server: pop.gmail.com (have tried googlemail too)
username:me@googlemail.com
password:******* (email login password)
outgoing server:smtp.gmail.com (have tried googlemail too)
advanced settings
your name: left as is
sig:---
download s&r: left as is
check interval: left as ispush email:greyed out
allowconnection: home network
encryption: both set as ssl
outgoing username: me@googlemail.com
outgoing password: *******(email login password)
incoming port: 995
outgoing port: 465
am i doing something wrong still ? |

@aminator, try the sonyericsson configuration tool again - use the settings for your O2 account as a template. When you have finished the screen does go white - but scroll up for the pin code - (its not well designed) - See if the O2 GPRS settings are different from your O2 mobile web - I have just downloaded the same and will try to get gmail to work through O2 and compare notes.

@aminator - ok, I have used the SE configurator to send me out the O2 GPRS Data account and O2 email address which I have changed to the gmail settings - both send and receive works without problem. (O2 pay monthly) - try it out that way using the same settings I posted below and let me know how you get on. |

ive managed to get as far as getting the mail to send and it hangs and says sending server not found...
in the advanced tab should I fill out the username/password too ?
right... I can get incoming emails, but cant do outgoing, keeps saying sending server not found 
final edit: Got it to work finally switched the outgoing port from 587 to 465.
Thanks for all your help !!!

Having tried every combination under the sun to try getting the K800i to send using Gmail's SMTP server on T-Mobile UK, and failing with the "Server not found" message each time, I'v ecome to the conclusion that there may be an issue with SSL handling in the firmware (using R1CF001).
The solution was to use T-Mobile UK's SMTP server instead, which is smtp.t-email.co.uk

It's me again (LeSve)
K800 with revision R1CB001.
I have done everything that people do. Make the configure like this thread says. Tried with both smtp.gmail.com and smtp.googlemail.com.
I have also uploaded two of the three certificate.
Now what's the problem.
Receiving works all OK but Sending email seems to work OK to the beginning, but after some blinking on the screen everything stops.
If I looked on the status of that mail it says "Server disconnected" and why
is not told.
Is this K800 or Google which make this disconnection ?
Regards

@lesve, sorry to hear that you are still having problems. it sounds like we are missing something very small - have you included @gmail or google mail for your username in both advanced and initial fields? Any capitals in your password? - possibly try changing the outgoing server port on SSL between 465 or 587. Good luck! |

Hi @redvers - what gprs provider are you using? have you attempted to create a new account with the Sonyericsson configurer? - Are the GPRS settings the same as your providers? - Also, not sure if it makes a difference but I checked all the "Authentification" options in Data communications"- it only had "PAP" checked before. |
