Hello everyone
I bought an O2 XDA from a friend. Have unlocked it and now inserted my Orange SIM.
I can receive SMS and make calls but cannot connect to web or pick up my pop3 emails.
Is there a program i can download or how do i do it
Please help - its making me crazy!!!
Munders.
you just need to setup the grps in
settings->connections->connections
add a cell grps network
type in the access point of your network
type in the login and password if you network require this
and you have network
then you need to add pop3 under the inbox acount
with the incomming and outgoing servers you use
and the login and password you use
Someone wrote a whole guide on how to do this for the XDA II on Orange. If you search these forums I guess you'll find it. I think the author was Shademehr or something.
Thanks guys. I'll try that
I can access Wap now. Cannot however add a new POP3 account. The optioned is greyed out on my XDA. It only allows SMS or Activesync.
Any ideas?
what if you press accounts->New account
thats how i set mine up the reason that it's greyd out the place you are looking should be because it's not setup yet
in what section is the accounts option?
Thanks
New account is the thing you should run in the account menu

Hello all,
I have just get an Artemis and I have flashed the Vanilla ROM, but now I'm not able to configure my gmail account using the IMAP server.
The problem isthat I can not deactivate the option "get configuration parameters" from internet, and by default the option selected is the POP server.
Is it posible to configure a Gmail acount using IMAP server on this ROM?
Regards,
I had the same issue, and did not solve it ... but my workaround was to download the Java Midlet from Google.com, and get my gmail that way, I find it faster too. I know that does not answer your question, but it might help for the time being
Easy, just add Gmail as [email protected] so it won't do the autorecognize thingy. Then when all settings are entered go back to options and change email adress to [email protected].
Easy
Thank you - so easy when you think about it!!
if i only knewthis 5 months ago....jeez... soo simple
I have had my TP2 for a few days now and i love it, except for the fact that I cannot send or receive email from my gmail account
I can access the internet fine, and use the youtube app fine, but whenever i try to send an email or hit send/receive i get this error message
"CANNOT CONNECT WITH CURRENT CONNECTIONS SETTINGS. TO CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS, TAP SETTINGS"
When i set up the email the only things i was required to supply were my email address and password....so i am assuming the problem lies with the way my handset is trying to access the gmail account, ie. trying to use wifi or something? (i dont have wifi, so i will only be using the "unlimited" interent provided with my t-mobile UK tariff)
has anyone else had this problem or do they know how to get around it as i have finally got myself a decent handset where i can (allegedly!) check my email on the move, but yet i somehow cant get it working?!!
Ihave tried both hard and soft resets to get this sorted but it just wont work and i feel like pulling my hair out!
n
I know it's not much consolation but it just worked for me...
I have a SIM free TP2 and UK T-Mobile Web'n'Walk.
Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com
Account type is IMAP4
Username is my full gmail username
Outgoing mail server is smtp.gmail.com
outgoing server requires authentication is ticked
All this was set via automatic configuration.
Hope this helps,
Richard
This is what i have done to recieve and send Gmail trueout the standard email client on my Pro II.
First of all you have to enable imap at your gmail account which you can find under settings.
Then on your phone do the following settings.
- make an new account in your email client
- fill in your gmail adress
- fill in your name
- fill at incomming mail "imap.gmail" and account type "imap"
- fill in your account name (gmail adress) and password
- fill at outgoing mail server smtp.gmail.com
and those two checkboxes must be checked
- auto recieve and send is up to you
hope this will help you
ther's a known bug in windows mobile poutlook...
sometimes the autoconf for gmail doesn't work...(i had the same issue on my omnia)
you only need to enter the account details by hand..
to do that, in the first screen where your address is asked, enter [email protected]
leave it without the final m.
after that fill in manually all the account details, then when finished edit the account and put that m in the domain...
that should work...at least in my omnia was the only way to get gmail working...
I used this guide en it works perfectly

hi, thanks or all the replies, most appreciated.
however, i have now established that i can get my gmail account working - but only over wifi!?!? when the wireless router is turned off i get the same message as before, so there must be a setting or something that is telling my TP2 to look for a wireless connection when performing a send/receive, rather than using the "internet" (if thats the right term) that is included in my contract..AAAARGH...
i have had a look but cannot find any settings for this so i must be going mad?
can anyone shed any light on this for me before i go mad??!!

Disable proxyserver, don't have the place where you can find this. I have a dutch rom
I have a gmail imap connection on my HTC Touch that was working great but has failed to connect for the past two hours or so.
I found that to change from Download 30 Days to 7 days and it worked fine.
Oddly I returned my TP2, and switched back to my VarioV, same problem (had worked fine until then). New TP2 is now here, so will start with 7 days and try expanding to 30 days later.

does anyone know how to do this? i cannot find this option anywhere?
is there any way i can see how my tp2 is trying to receive data from my gmail account, ie. if it is trying to use internet or wifi?!?
also, does anyone have any details for the settings that their tp2 (on t-mobile UK) is using when trying to retrieve email (not by wifi)??!
i'm also assuming that t-mobile wont be able to help me as i got my phone/contract via a third party and t-mobile themselves dont seem to stock the phone themselves....
I had this problem, it drove me nuts until I worked out what it was, if i was already connected it would work but it would not establish its own new connection.
To fix it go into the email settings for the account, then select:
Edit Account Setup
Next
Next
Next
Next (Outgoing (SMTP) mail server screen)
Click the “Advanced Server Settings” Link
In the “Network connections” it defaults to “The Internet” but if you have gone through the “Connection Setup Wizard” when you first installed your SIM it renames the connection, in my case to “T-Mobile Internet”.
Change “Network Connections” to the correct one i.e. “T-Mobile Internet”
hey presto, you can now get your emails
hope this helps everyone

if the connection has a proxy in the setup, than you can use that connection only if selected like above...
if you leave "The internet" the proxy settings are ignored...you have to select the exact connection..but this will prevent the gmail to connect with wifi
Anyone know what i need to enter to do that? Im searching the internet for instructions like gmail provide but cant find anything!!!
Thanks,

I set up my ntlworld account the other day.
It did it all automatically to be fair.
After typing in the e-mail address and password, then clicking "Next" it asks if I want it to try and download the settings automatically, which I did.
It then did nearly everything itself, save for entering my name and a couple of preferences.
Was easy.
Where are you getting stuck?
When i go through the new account thing it asks for email / password and then asks for the incoming server etc. Doesnt seem to grab anything automatic?
Is your TP2 branded? Vodafone? T-Mobile? What region?
Otherwise incoming server is pop.ntlworld.com and smtp is smtp.ntlworld.com
At least that's what I use on my PC
Its T-Mobile and im in the UK. Sorry forgot to mention that!
use pop.ntlworld.com for the incoming server.
NTLs (virgin media) smtp servers will not let you send mail through them unless you're on one of the connections though (when using GPRS for example)- so use the smtp server of your mobile provider who will.
A quick bit of google should find you that bit (as it would have e the pop server name)

Hi guys,
i just found out, my email provider wants me to pay for imap services, so i wanted to switch it to POP3 on my TP2, but there isnt any option to do so...
Does anyone know how to change from imap to pop???
You can't switch from imap to pop3. You'll have to remove your imap account from your Messaging app. Then add your pop3 account. Don't use the HTC Email Setup app. Do it manually in the Messaging app. Also remember to uncheck the box during setup that helps you to retrieve account settings automatically.
Finally found it
Had to use a different email and then rename it to web.de, cause my tp2 saved the web.de settings and used them again and again
Thanks alot

Just follow the 'Tools>NewAccount...>menu to get to the wizard, you'll then get an option to set up the account and on about screen 3 of this you will be asked if you want IMAP4 or POP3. I found it easier to disable the auto settings and go manual.
Is there anyway I can the HTC email widget to display my googlemail account as I've been trying to set it up bit without success?
I couldn't use theHTC mail widget for gmail either. I could setup hotmail no problem. Is it possible that gmail must be used through the gmail app only?
Looks like which is a shame as I prefer the HTC email layout
add account (active sync)
email address - enter your full email address (eg. [email protected])
server address "m.google.com"
domain - leave blank
username - enter your full email address (eg. [email protected])
password - your password
select SSL
hope this helps
it is possible to use the HTC widget for gmail yea.
First you have to go into gmail on your pc then settings (top right)
Then choose "Forwarding and POP/IMAP"
Then choose "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)" or "Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on" deppending on what you want.
Then hit "save changes" at the bottom of the page.
now on the desire:
put the widget down.
choose to manually enter settings.
All default settings should be fine, just enter your gmail user and pass.
Then all should be good =]
I've tried both comments above, I get to the screen asking what data I want to sync but when i click finish setup, I just get an error message saying failed to create the account, pls try again later

You want the pop3 option on your phone, not the activesync one. Just put in your google username/password. Make sure you have a data connection to the internet (3g/wifi).
I suggest using IMAP. Add the mail widget to one of the homescreens then tap to make an account. Choose pop/IMAP and you want IMAP.
Then add in your gmail (googlemail email and password. Make sure you are connected via wifi or your mobile connection and you should be all set....

Well, i said pop3 but yes, it's techinically the Other(pop3/imap) option. If you are setting up gmail then you don't have to choose manual, and therefore you don't actually select either pop3/imap, just enter your username and password...
Nope, neither of these work either
Try putting in "googlemail" instead of "gmail" where your email address and username goes.
That seemed to solve my problem.
I was putting googlemail but tried gmail and all working ok now so cheers

no problem. strange that some people need to use gmail and others need to use googlemail to get this to work
Gmail IMAP working like a charm for me.
Thinkin may stick to the gmail app now though as tend to get notified of new emails quicker then the HTC widget.
I have one gmail account through the gmail app and another gmail account through the HTC mail via ActiveSync. both push through as fast as each other imo.
