Follow the Google instructions precisely, and it will work. You might have forgotten the non-standard port numbers for example...

If you had read the GMAIL configuration help for IMAP, you would have noticed that their implementation of IMAP is over SSL already.
By the way, with IMAP, now Gmail becomes a realistic email box for serious users. Especially considering that they allow hosting your own domain via Google Apps...

Sergey Zak IMAP is king. I use had been using it with every of my mailbox since circa 2000. I must add that not every IMAP implementation was born equal, though... Some of the quirks on some free systems might make you go looking elswhere. And the absence of IMAP4 in Gmail had been the reason why I never wanted to have an acct there. Now I know where to go should I need a change of address... Next step? Hmm... IMAP over SSL maybe?

Unregistered This is probably an obvious thing to check but when you entered your username, did you enter your complete email address? In other words, did you include the 'at gmail dot com? I overlooked that when I first did this.

Not working on the m600i

I tried as soon as I heard the news, however, after everything is set up, the Messaging program comes back saying 'Server returned error: Check username and password' or something to that effect. I know the username and passwords are right. Any suggestions?! Gmail's own help page say they prefer mobile users to check mail using their Java app.

Bleahhh...

Not working for me yet, even changing my language to American. NOT FAIR! WANT!

Izzard This is the best news in AGES!

By the way, often new Gmail features are given to US users before they are rolled out for UK users. No need to wait though: just change your 'Language' option (in Gmail settings) from "English (UK)" to "English (US)" in the meantime.

Xerxes too Is anyone able to compare which is less battery hungry, imap idle or mailforexchange?
24-10-2007 06:42 PM
nagumi So as far as I can tell, this solves the "old mail disappears" issue (the one fixed with "recent:". It even fixes the thing where emails you send appear in the inbox as unread! YAAAAAAAAAAY!


Edit:
Ohhhh and I can subscribe to individual labels from a list. And folders too! As in, in mailbox options, retrieval settings, folder subscriptions I choose which labels and (inside "[Gmail]") which preset folders I want to subscribe to, and from now on I have a list of folders in the Gmail mailbox on my device which I can browse through and move messages from place to place in. Coooool.



Edit2 (and last):
Apparently you can't move messages from place to place within the folder system in symbian imap. Seems to be a symbian limitation though... not gmail's fault.

If you don't see the "IMAP" in the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, then check back soon. We are giving it to users as fast as we can.

slitchfield Apparently you may need to log out of GMail and log back in again in order to see the IMAP option etc.

Good luck!

Unregistered Yes, it does appear to support IMAP IDLE. If you enable "Auto Retrieval" in the Nokia mail settings to any refresh time, when you exit the mail box, the mail box connects and stays connected (so 3G always on). Then as soon as an e-mail arrives (no matter what you have set the refresh time to) the mail arrives in the phone mail box - very nice!

One thing - I do not see any mention of IMAP in my GMail Settings page. I was previously using POP, so that is enabled. Even though there were no IMAP settings, I decided to try it anyway and it worked. So guess the only way you will know if it will work with you is if you try it out...

Unregistered It will take a few days before all GMail accounts have IMAP-option available. Meanwhile it would really be interesting to hear whether there is IMAP IDLE available or not. Anyone?
