GMail on Nokia N73

8th April 2008, 09:58 am

…does work through the built in mail client using IMAP.

After changing over to Google Apps and hoping that the J2ME GMail client would work on the N73, I found that it didn’t and would only collect mail from a standard @gmail.com/@googlemail.com account. This is a serious drawback, sort it out Google! I considered bouncing all my e-mail across to another account, but thought better of it and gave emoze a try. Which didn’t seem to do much once I eventually connected…

So I’ve gone back to e-mail in the Messaging menu:

Incoming server: imap.googlemail.com

Mailbox type: IMAP4

Security: SSL/TLS

Port: 993

..and away you go. For sending e-mail using GMail;

Outgoing server: smtp.googlemail.com

Security: StartTLS

Port: 587

Once again, Google, please allow your client to deal with Google Apps accounts!

Although I’ve done this on my N73, it should be the same for all S60v3 phones such as the N95.
