I have also tried configuring gmail using IMAP4 on my E51. but i am getting error message mailbox imdle for some timem…
any inputs would be much appriciated.

I have a problem with gmail account on my nokia E51,i made all settings as Madhav Gopinath explained very well, but now i`m having connection refused by server, check user name and password, but i`m sure these are ok, anyone had any problem like this, help will be highly appreciated

regards
joe

Also, depending on the phones set up on O2, the provider could be blocking the ports required to access the exchange server. I know this happens with the newer plans on Rogers in Canada, but as I have an older plan I am not affected.

Have two E51 devices… set both up to synch with our exchange server.
One works, one dosen’t

account name / server etc all correct.

The device that does not connect / synch has error message “System error, try again later” and nothing else.

O2 blaming the exchange, and the exchange blaming O2!

anybody able to shed some light on this, much appreciated.

Regards,

I did the setting as per specified by Madhav Gpinath but whenever I try to connect to my gmail inbox, I get an error that Mailbox idle for sometime. Will appreciate if somebody helps me out with this.

Go to “messaging” then click on “options”. Within this menu click on “settings” followed by “E-mail”. This menu will then ask what you want your default mailbox to be with each mailbox you have created listed. Click on the mailbox that is not needed then press “options” and delete.
