Two readers were kind enough to point out alternative solutions to the problem of the "untrusted certificate" warning when connecting to Gmail, as described below.
Thomas Mango at Trikenit pointed out this solution by Kevin Henrikson. Rafe from the indispensable site All About Symbian suggested a similar solution which I outlined below.
Go to the following URL from the browser of your Nokia E61 (remove the space between "certificates/ certificates" I added that for cosmetic reasons to the blog) https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/ certificates/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.cer or send the URL to yourself in an SMS and access it through the browser.
When you do this you will get an "untrusted certificate" warning but just continue. Save the certificate, you will receive a certificate warning but continue.
Press the joystick to check the two "Certificate Uses" checkboxes and confirm with OK.
Voila - you can now connect to Gmail with the POP and SMTP setting as pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com without getting the "untrusted certificate" warning.
Thanks for the added information Thomas and Rafe!
For gmail why don’t you just use the gmail java app instead…it retains the functionality of the messaged thread that gmail is so known for. I honestly can’t figure out what email to push since my hotmail account is like garbage and my gmail is for everything else and I use the java app for that
download http://www.gmail.com/app from your phone browser you will never go to pop mail settings.
i used Pedro’s setting, i get the malbaox username and password screen.
when i press ok instead of opning the mail box it reappears.
can anybody help me in resolving this.
many thanx.

this is a used pc given to me by a friend when i first got it i bought a verizon acct and everything was fine then something happened i think it was a virus so i sent it out to mr.comp doctor who sent it back with mozilla fire fox as a security service.then something happened again and i keep getting pop ups stating that my ssl protocol is disabled this means i keep paying for a service that i can not access along with my email iam at my wits end can anyone help me
i guess this means no one can help me thanks anyway
So email on the E61 really works super well.
Just to confirm and collect the best 2 tips from the above:
1. Incoming
username=recent:youurname@gmail.com
server=pop.googlemail.com
security=SSL/TLS
port=995
2. Outgoing
username=youurname@gmail.com
server=smtp.googlemail.com
security=SSL/TLS
port=465
Note the “recent:” prefix in the pop username field. This is some google extra that creates a fake inbox with only the recent (last 30 days?) emails form your mail account.
This is so you don’t start downloading all your e-mail since you first opened your gmail account.
With this service and VoIP I don’t think I will need to pay the cell phone company one cent. Yeeeey for technology. And thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and the owner of the blog for hosting this.
Peace

If you put “recent:” in front of your username in your POP3 settings, your GMAIL will not delete when you recieve new email. It worked for me and have several weeks of email on my mobile POP3 inbox. I heard it will keep emails that are less than 30 days old, so I’m told, but have not done it long enough to check.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!!
Is it just me but it does not work. I have a E62 nokia.
Me too, I migrated from Treo180 to Nokia E61i (previously using Nokia5120 => SE-T226 => Nokia2600 => SE K700i) and happy til now.
My E61i had Yahoo Mail Plus pre-installed here in Chile. I installed the same and now I have 2 Yahoo Mail Plus installed, but can’t uninstall. Any hints?
admin: I have installed Yahoo Go! and read email with no problems and don’t have Premiun Account nor Plus Account.
Mitchell: I’ts very easy to install, just download te E61i version from yahoo, install, choose wireless connection and that’s all.
Bye
Hi Everyone
