How to Setup G-Mail Account in your POCKET PC

Wont it feel good when your Pocket PC could automatically login to your G-Mail mailbox and check for mails automatically, notify new mails just like if you recieve an sms?

Well, its not complicated to do it and in this article i will guide you through it with screenshots.

 

  • First make sure you have POP3 enabled in your G-mail settings.
  • Enter into the default Messaging application on your Pocket PC

POCKET_PC

  • Tap on the Accounts menu and create a New Account to land up in a page as shown below (in your POCKET PC)

POCKET_PC

  • Now enter your gmail id
  • Tap next and you should see the following screen in  your POCKET PC

POCKET_PC_3

  • Now enter your name (anything to identify the account), gmail user name and password
  • Check save password option as it is required for automatic checking of mails by your Pocket PC
  • Then tap next

POCKET_PC_4

  • Select pop3 and enter some name like 'your gmail account' and tap next as usual.

POCKET_PC_5

  • Here is where you enter the server information. please take care in this part and enter it properly. Use keyboard in your POCKET PC rather than Transcriber.
  • Now instead of pressing Finish, tap on the Options button

POCKET_PC_6

  • Here is the option to request your POCKET PC to connect automatically and check for mails.
  • Put your required settings and tap next for additional settings.

POCKET_PC_7

  • Here you check needed items. Show messages from last few days and so.
  • Make sure you check on require SSL connection and outgoing mail requires authentication.
  • Dont check 'Use separate settings' or you may need to enter into outgoing settings and enter your username and password again.
  • Finally tap next to end up in the last screen where you can specify if you want to recieve the Full copy of messages or just the headers alone.

If your GPRS connection is not unlimited and charged for download limits, i suggest you to check on download Headers alone so still you can recieve the Sender and Subject. Later you can download the messages selectively if you find them important.

In addition to this, many reported that their mails disappear on connect/disconnect. Solution for this: Go into the settings of your gmail account on your pocket pc. At the "Server information" screen, there is an "Options" button. Go into the Options screen. On the last screen,

* If you choose "Get full copy of messages" your messages will be deleted off of the server once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" This is common for all POP3 servers. Gmail has a special option in the "Mail Settings/Forwarding and POP" for you to "Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" even if you do a "Get a full copy of messages" Other POP3 servers don't have this special option so emails will get deleted. To keep it consistent with other POP3 servers in case you have multiple email accounts, just select "Trash Gmail's copy"

* If you choose "Get message headers only" and include 999K (32K is about a screen full of email) you will still see most of the body of your emails once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" but your emails won't be deleted off of the server. Now... if you realize some of the emails are SPAM and you want do delete them off of the server to save yourself from downloading those SPAM mails again to your desktop email software, you can click on the SPAM mail and "Mark for download". Then do a "Send/Receive Mail". Those emails that are marked for download will then be downloaded to your XDA IIs and deleted from the server. On your pocket pc, you can just delete them once the "Send/Receive Mail" is done.

 

 Hope this small article helped you in setting up a gmail account on your POCKET PC. You can comment about this or request help if you have any doubts, in our forums.

Samsung i600 is a smartphone, but this site is for Pocket PC. Still, the
configurations are almost similar for the smartphone too. It should definitely
work!
