Hello,

Im trying to connect my iphone with my school email address. It goes through gmail, but I have to change my password every three months. Now that I have had to change my password I can still receive but not send messages. Do you know how to fix this? I’ve tried to reset my password on my phone and even tried deleting the email account from my phone and re setting it up and nothing seems to be working.

I use Gmail on my iphone 3g..and it always worked fine, until all of a sudden it stopped working. It would not update my email and just kept say “connecting….” and then “cannot connect to imap.google.com”. It was so frustrating! I tried several things, none of which worked.

Finally I got a tip from someone online to just go into gmail on my computer and change my password to something more secure. Up until then my password had just been a simple word, but after changing it to something with a number and longer word in it, gmail worked on my phone again. But gosh it was so frustrating when it wasn’t working.

have jailbroken iphone…running tmobile…trying to set up a way to have my emails forwarded to the phone.

actually talked to tmobile about it and they put me in touch with a tech who works there and owns an iphone…he said it shouldn’t be a problem…but he didn’t exactly walk me through it.

apparently it can take up to 48 hours for the “tmobile smartphone dataplan” to fully activate…so I’m guessing that wifi will have to be up and running before I configure the imap dealy…yes?

also…any tips on getting apps from itunes…or just downloading stuff in general would be a great help

thanks all

I have successfully set up my yahoo email account. Only problem is I have over a thousand messages in my inbox and Yahoo mail retrieves from somewhere in the middle of my list. How do I get them to retrieve only my MOST RECENT 25 messages?

Hello, and thanks for your help! I did everything perfectly, until I came to the following:

“Next click on the Advanced button and select On the Server | Gmail/Drafts, Deleted Messages under Sent Mailbox, and Gmail/Trash under Deleted Mailbox. Also make sure Incoming Uses SSL is ON and Outgoing Uses SSL is On. Finally, check Password under Authentication and click Save.”

I’m very confused as to what you mean by this…also…what is the purpose of this step? Thank you very much!
