Nokia 9500 and Gmail

[pankajxmathur]

Now that Gmail has POP3 access....
I have setup my gmail account on my nokia 9500 and access the same using the wireless connection.
However I have noticed something really strange ~~~~~
When I download new mails on my communicator, they only remain in the mail folder till the next time I check my mail.
Whenever I retrieve my mails next, all messages are lost (deleted), ie. they are no more in the gmail folder, except for the mail that I received from gmail when I signed up for the account (the first mail).
Why this strange behavior .....
Does the Nokia 9500 mail client behave the same way with other POP accounts ?????

I have no problems with my "normal" account, and haven't tried gmail on my 9500 yet. Maybe it is a setting on your communicator or on gmail, could be something small/simple

Edit: thinking about it, what you're saying could be true. It only downloads mails that are on the servers, and deletes them from your 9500 automatically when they're removed from the POP server (because you've already received them in Outlook or on the gmail webpage for example). Same happens with my normal account, but it's normal behaviour too AFAIK

Not tried my Gmail account on the 9500, but the first thing that I can think of is that you've not configured the 9500 to leave mail on the server..?

NOt quite sure exactly what you mean, but i have set up pop3 access on my gmail account from 9500 and it seems fine. Just so you are aware, there is a setting in gmail that requests if you wish for your email to be kept in your INBOX or TRASH etc after you have done a POP3 access.

I can't use my Gmail account in 9500...

I used the servers from Gmail (listed in the help topics), enabled POP account in Gmail put still no luck.

Is there a trick that I don't know?

[RickyTec]

It's done!

The problem was that I didn't put SSL authentication...

It's working fine now!

[upponalle]

Thanks for the tipp with SSL, now it is working for me as well

ssl is on, username/password checked about 50times.

Choose SMTP server authentication as yes and supply the same user name and password as the pop3 user name and password.
With this sending mail should work.
It worked fine for me.
However you guys need to read the first post posted by me and reply to the same

I can see my old mails, but not my new mails...?!? I can see mails 0 to ca 800, but that's it... where's the rest of them (they're fine in the web-browser on my PC)
