gmail email setup

[bgreenlee]

I am struggling with my email setup for my gmail account. I have tried a few changes and made sure that I was on the right port. When I telnet in this is what I see.

Re: gmail email setup

I may be wrong but I though Gmail required SSL for all Pop connections which the Apex doesn't support. What I did to get it working with my mail server was to setup a free account with GMX and set GMX to forward the email to my main account.

you are correct, gmail will not work. gmx is a great solution

This is an ACIII if that makes a difference. I had been using gmail before i moved the tank to UT.

I'm using gmail on my ac3. Have you activated POP or Imap on your gmail account?

 

[bgreenlee]

yes its active. I just tried this with a new gmx account as well and am not having any luck either. Wonder if my DNS ip address is wrong or something.

What port number do I use for the GMX email account?

I would love to know the EXACT settings that work for gmail. There are enough people that use gmail that the manufacturer must know a solution for this. I have no desire to figure it out for myself...it should be a straightforward setup.

Use the outgoing (SMTP) server.

 

[thefu]

which port worked for you?

 

[clp]

gmail as the smtp server is not going to work as it requires SSL connection. I recommend that you use your ISP's smtp server as almost all do not require a SSL connection. If that fails you can always set up a free account on gmx.com, and then use there smtp server.

Have you actually tried this because Curt says it will not work.

Grr. I just checked my AC3 setup again and I'm sorry to say it is not configured using gmail. It's using my hosted domain server. I apologize.
