Configuring Gmail In Nokia 7710
Follow the following steps to configure gmail account in Nokia 7710
Step 1 : Hit the menu button and select messaging
Step 2 : Pop open the menu and select New mailbox... from Tools submenu option
[the "Mailbox setup" dialog box opens]
Step 3 : Hit the Next button
[the "Mailbox setup : Mailbox details" dialog box appears]
Step 4 : Enter the details as below
Mailbox name : <% Any_name %> preferably give Gmail for simplicity
[Note that this name will be displayed in your message window and will determine your gmail account in the Nokia 7710 User Interface]
Mailbox type: POP3 [Note: IMAP must NOT be selected]
[Note: you wont be able to change the mailbox type after hitting the finish button]
Now hit Next button
[the "Mailbox setup : User Details" dialog box appears]
Step 5 : Enter the details as below
Name : <% any_name%> preferably your name for simplicity
[Note that this name will be displayed on sent email message ]
User Name : <% your_email_ID %>
[Note : Specify your full email ID i.e. mailnendulal@gmail.com , DO NOT just secify mailnendulal ignoring the @gmail.com. Your mailbox will not be connected if you ignore @gmail.com]
Password : <% your_gmail_password %>
My e-mail address : <% your_emailID %>
[Note: Here also give the complete email ID]
Fault Practise: Usually all people tend to give just the username idnoring the "@gmail.com" which will never let them get connected to the gmail account. Its a good practise to enter the "User Name" field and "My e-mail address" field as the same string
Now hit the Next button
[the "Mailbox setup : Server Details" dialog box appears]
Step 5 : Enter the details as below
Incomming server (POP3) : pop.gmail.com
Outgoing server (SMTP) : smtp.gmail.com
[Note: DO NOT give http:// and all, keeps things very simple]
Now hit the Next buton
[the "Mailbox setup complete" dialog box appears]
Hitting the Finish button WILL NOT successfully retrive email to your Nokia 7710 set.
Remember : Hitting the Finish button will disable the Mailbos type option in the Step 4.
Review the settings before you hit the Finish button by navigating the Back button, in case any alterations perform it before you go ahead further. If all are perfect then click the Advance button.
DO NOT click Finish button now, remember that we need to set the port numbers as gmail is not running on the defaut ports for POP3 and SMTP servers.
Now hit the Advance button.
[the "Advanced e-mail settings" dialog box appears with four tabs namely Retrival, Sending, Outgoing Server and Others respectively ]
Step 6 : Hit the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" tab
check the "Authentication Required" option and fill the fields as you entered in Step 4
REMEMBER IN THIS STEP 7 THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT
Step 7 : Navigate to "Others" tab
REMEMBER IN THIS STEP THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT
MOST IMPORTANT STEP - READ CAREFULLY
Enter the details as below
[ VERY VERY IMPORTANT make sure that "security" field is set to none in this step]
Security : None
Incomming e-mail port: 995
Outgoing e-mail port: 465
REMEMBER IN THIS STEP THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT
[ VERY VERY IMPORTANT Now change the "security" field to Secure port POP3S]
Note: Now setting the "security" field will disable the "Incomming e-mail port" field with the 995 port value set.
* - > This is the most important setting that you must take care of
Now hit OK button
[this will take you to the "Mailbox settup complete" dialogbox]
Now hit Finish button.
REMEMBER IN THIS STEP THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT
