Configure Gmail in your mobile

1. Enable POP in Gmail. See the I part to enable pop in your gmail account. Don't forget to click Save Changes when you're done.

2. Configure your client to match the settings below

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL      :       pop.gmail.com

Use SSL                                         :       Yes

Port                                            :       995
......
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server                     :       smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication                              :      Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS                           :       587 Port for SSL: 465

Account Name                                    :       your full Name

Email Address                                   :       your email address (username@gmail.com)

Password                                        :       your Gmail password

Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server.

Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won't affect how Gmail handles your mail.

Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

3. You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.
