Friends,
got this off AXIMsite, Tried to configure the settings and they worked perfectly.

1. First enter the program messages on your PPC



2.Now Tap the accounts button, and then hit New Account,

Enter your email and tap next



3. Enter whatever name you want for the 'Your Name' field. Next enter your gmail user ID.

Next enter your gmail password and select 'save password unless you want to type it everytime you send/recieve messages.

Now hit Next.



4. Now on this screen select POP3 for the account type. And name the account, i just left mine named POP3. You can name it something like 'GMAIL' or anything u can recognise.

Now hit Next.



5. Here is where you enter the Server info for gmail, !!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!, you can't mess this part up. Must be just like shown.

After you enter this info, select options.



6. here is your first options screen

make your screen look like this



7. On this second options screen, check all things i have checked.

I have checked 'use seperate settings', If you check this box you must click outgoing settings and enter your gmail user name and password again. But just make sure you check the 'SSL' connection and 'outgoing mail requires authentication checked'.

If you are using WM2003 (NON-SE version), you will not have 'use seperate settings' and 'outgoing settings', just ignore it

Now select next.


8. Here is the Outgoing Settings Window, just enter your gmail username and password, and check SSL.


9. On the last screen you can choose how much of message you want to recieve, i chose recieve all because i get lots of pictures in my email.


Dear All.
Please do not email the address in the screenshots. That is not my email address. I got the screen shots off from AXIMSITE

Except I'm still trying to get the old emails to stay when new ones appear.

Eh... not really sure what you mean.. I mean afterall, I thought they are downloaded into the PPC already?

But when I pull new mail the old ones disappear, read or not.

I tried following but it always prompt me for incomming email password even when i key in the correct password it doesnot connect

Did you select 'display only x days of mail?'

Try the ID as your email address. I checked & mine was using my email address.

Arhhhh .. I know already I never enable POP mail for my gmail ...

It seems that u r right. I tried it n had the same prob. it only stayed if i move it to another manually created folder. maybe u might wan to do that

Ok, thanks. I tried screwing around with the settings but didn't work =(

how to configure the server name all this if i'm using yahoo mail?

Go setup:

1) enter your email address
2) Enter your name, UserName, Password
3) Account information: POP3, Name (any name to identify your yahoo account)
4) Server info:
Incoming - pop.mail.yahoo.com.sg
Outing - smtp.mail.yahoo.com.sg
Domain: <blank>

Shd be able to work as I'm using these settings.

Bear in mind that your yahoo acc must be pop-enabled too.

Great..working fine..thanx

To be a little honest here, allow me a thread hijacking >.<

As you all probably have noticed, when you download new mail in the Main folder of Messaging, it clears the old mail that are in the main folder.

Recently, my Messaging started to behave funnily, such that it would leave new unread mail behind, but in a very odd fashion, meaning that it would clear some unread ones and leave some behind. Any ideas what's going on?

Not that it's very irritating anyway, I got used to the annoyance of not having my old mail, this is a bit of a bonus, but I'm asking for curiosity's sake.

"how to configure the server name all this if i'm using yahoo mail?"


Only the yahoo mail for singapore ie. xxxx@yahoo.com.sg has FREE POP3 account

Yahoo mail for yyyyy@yahoo.com do NOT have free POP3 account - you've to pay for it.

Can try Webis mail 2 ... provide much ease wif configuration of yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc as the configuration is there already,... just have to enter your username n password n u r ready to go

feel stupid asking this but i have done the configuration, now what do i do to download my mail from my gmail acct?

There's a button which is an envelope of sorts, saying Send/Receive mail on the bottom toolbar, click it, watch the status bar change, and then you'll see mail appearing.

I have to re-create new account for my Gmail because the first one screwed up, wrong password, how do i delete the old account, i have explored many times, can't seem to do it, thanks

happened to me, too.

you have to be disconnected first. then, when in "messaging", go to "accounts", choose "accounts", then press/hold "pop3" (or whatever name you chose in place of this) until the "delete" option pops up.

got it, thanks a lot, my mistake was trying to do it when it was connected
