NEW GMAIL IMAP SETTINGS FOR MOBILE EMAIL CLIENT IN SONY ERICSSON WITH SECURITY CERTIFICATES (IN MY CASE W810I) ........for those who are new ..others who are using old pop server can also refer this

Checklist : please enable imap in your online google account

Easiest is using your wap browser and going to m.gmail.com but you already knew that and thats not why you are here... what you need is to get it working using your phone's email client. So lets get started...

1.- Setting up your account.
Set up your email account as follows (if you don't know how to do this i'd suggest reading that little book that came with your phone lol)

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

Connect Using: GPRS Internet
Connection Type: IMAP

Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com

Username: your GMail username (eg. nileshzabak@gmail.com) (including '@gmail.com')

Password: your GMail password

Download: According to your needs

Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com

Username: your GMail username (eg. nileshzabak@gmail.com) (including '@gmail.com')

Password: your GMail password

Encription:
Incoming Server: SSL
Outgoing Server: TLS

Incoming Port: 993
Outgoing Port: 465 (587 OPTIONAL BUT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME)


2.- Certificates.
Now you need to download some certificates to your phone.
You need to send them to your phone using either Bluetooth or Ir (no USB)

Get the certificates from here:
Click to view attachment
Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.cer
ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer
ThawteServerCA.cer

Remember to use BT or IR, no USB


3.- IMAP Download.
Go to your Gmail account settings and enable IMAP.

So thats it, i got Gmail working (sending and receiving) with this settings and certificates.

I dont know if this works for every SE model so if you have a different one than the W810 i'll appreciate if you let me know if it works.

Now please note that i've read on other posts about Gmail suddenly stop working, I don't know if it has anything to do with the certificates or what, if i know i'll post it here.
Also if the links to the certificates stop working dont blame me, try searching for them.

direct your phones wap browser (not min opera) to
www.orka.mine.nu/pub/gmail/
and you can download the 2 certificates straight to your phone without needing to connect and install via a PC

Hope this mini guide helps
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SEND 20 MB ATTACHMENTS WITH OUR PHONES.

Does it accept SSL on 465? I read it uses TLS on 587.

Encription:
Incoming Server: SSL
Outgoing Server: TLS

Incoming Port: 993
Outgoing Port: 465

Tested on V630i@W660i and P1i.

Yep, works on W660i, with default ports for SSL (993 and 465).

redguy... did you needed any certificates? I'm asking because I have a modded customization with alot of certificates, and... i didn't.

If the phone is not preloaded with any certificates other than default then it will 100 % require a certificate as attached above...(for w810)

i was able to enable push email using these settings on a w610i. incoming: 993/ssl and outgoing: 25/tls. i did download the certificates and transferred via bluetooth but i wasn't sure where to put them so i just left them in my phone's "other" folder (not on the memory card).

i do have one question though, for those of you who are using gmail with push email enabled on your phones, how does the battery put up with that ? does it drain faster ? if so, how much faster ?

You must transfer certificates thru " send object" method only by bluetooth...then they will be stores in right place
. or otherwise use the WAP link to install


and yes baterry will drain faster if yr setings is like " ckheck every 10 mins" ....interval shud be adjusted at a feasible limit to save battery......

this is amazing!!!!!!!

hey thanks roni !!! 250 people viewed this thread but no one thanked...But still i think this needs some more popularity as this is the best only "free way" to send attachments from our phone till 20 MB...

enjoy all......let me me know if anyone has any problems.......

thanks anyhow but i haven't got mine to work. but it's ok.

Thank you! In the name of the 250 non-responsive users.

P.S. If you want the e-mail settings for any SE phone, for some e-mail providers... you can also use this -> http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/ph...cc=ae&lc=en

Thank you for a great link..indeed helpfull for all users...

hey great link, testing it now!

Damn you O2 and your horrible payg port blocking.

I can get gmail to work on my phone sorta, but can't send attachments so I was eager to try this.
No luck so far, and I get an error when trying to goto the certificate website with my phone.
I have a K810i.

Edit
It works now. I can finally send attachments. Even my inbox works properly now, instead of only receiving old emails, I now receive only the newer ones.


I used all the settings from the original poster, except I used outgoing port 993 instead of 995.
I did not need any certificates, And I set my Gmail settings to IMAP.

Thanks a lot.

managed to work.. thx

THAT PORT 995 WAS A MISTAKE CORRECTED NOW...THANKS A LOT.....

AND REGARDING NEW MAILS..YES THATS THE BENEFIT OF IMAP





THANKS FRIEND....TRIED SENDING ATTACHMENTS..?

Hi, I just want to thank you.

Thanks a lot!

but can you send attachments if so please tell me what you did so that my phone will do the same

I don't use Gmail, but i can get the settings for the mail account i do use. But my question is what mail client (progs) can you use on mobile phones? Mine is a W960, thanks in advance.

Flip.

I met the certificates problem at first . so i read my menu book.following the guide i just went to inbox,select send&rec. then it pop up a message ""sever identity is unverified continue?" i press yes and it worked. i sent a mail for sure. my cell is k510

that certificates are exactly required for that pop up message only that u get "sever identity is unverified continue?"

TY men, very nice tutorial we are going to surf =3

thanks man....let me know if any problems....Enjoy Gmail

It's an awesome tutorial, thanks! But I still can't send messages ! I followed the guide closely but it just says "finding server" for ever with port 25, and "sending message" for ever with port 465. The message has a 250 kb file attached, and it never sent it. After something like 20 minutes, the "sending message" goes away, but the message is still in the outbox! What could be wrong?

Your problem is this......Try port 587 (working in many cases)


Encription:
Incoming Server: SSL
Outgoing Server: TLS

Incoming Port: 993
Outgoing Port: 465 (587 OPTIONAL BUT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME)

Nope, still dosn't work!

not working on k790 dude help plz

vicky, what dosn't work, like what error messages are shown?

not working.it says server not found.

Hi. Thanx for the tut. But i got a prob I can recieve mails but I cant send. I tried all the settings i.e 465 & 587. The error comes is "sending failed". By the way I have W810i R4EA03.

it works perfectly....just follow first post STEP BY STEP..its working for thousands.........if still not working..just reply back...and yes its 100 % working on all SONY ERICSSON PHONES with GPRS Connection and gmail account

sucess in my w810i thank you.
just follow first post STEP BY STEP..
its working for thousands.........
if still not working..
just reply back...
and yes its 100 % working on all SONY ERICSSON PHONES with GPRS Connection and gmail account

dont fogot down load and save certificate GMAIL_on_810_with_imap

extract the download file, COPY the 3 certificates.

Go to memory stick/MSSEMC/System/licence trannsfer/(PASTE)

THEN go to phone /message/Email/inbox-more send & receive

For the record: I tried these settings on my SE w880i (about 10 times now ) and I still get

All the certificates were preloaded. Re-downloading gives a "certificate already exists" message.

Gmail for Mobile app works like a charm, tho. But I prefer a built in solution.

sijissasi - yeah maybe it works for thousands, but for hundreds it dosn't work. I am 100% sure that Chaudhary, parshast and ::vicky:: did everything step by step, and they have a problem due to some other things. They arn't the only ones, I tried sevral times all these settings on my SE V800, and at the moment, I can only receive emails. Just don't always critisice people.

yeah right i tried everything step by step

it will not work on built in client because gmail is not supporting some service or say the built in email client in se phones

Thank you sooooooo much for the certs and tips.

I got my w850i setup with IMAP in/out and working.
I used the TLS outgoing 587 port.

One extra note on uploading the certificates via Bluetooth:

Only upload the *.cer files.
Upload them one by one and as they come your device will ask you to save the certificates. Do so.

Txs again.

I want to install the Certificate Authority in my W810i through USB. Please describe the procedure.

Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.cer
ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer
ThawteServerCA.cer

you can't send them using USB. You can either use Bluetooth, infra-red or a Internet connectio.

i cant get it work...if i have a w910i..can i download those certificates from first post, or do i have to find another for my phone?(if i say this it means that i didnt install the certificates yet )
im using a GPRS WAP connection, not a GPRS INTERNET connection. could this be the problem too?
my phone is hanging at the "finding server".

EDIT : i searched my phone for these certificates and i found them...they are installed and active...i didnt install the ones posted in the first post, but it still not working.
you can try to search them too : Menu-Settings-General-Security-Certificates
and i found them there...
now i have another question...do i have to install the ones from the first post(and maybe then it will give me an error telling me that i have them already installed) or...what???

you know honestly i think it might be the provider the settings that they have in there phones

i hv tried this whole procedure more than 10 times but still cant sync my w660i with gmail>>neither through pop3 nor imap4......


can ne1 help me pls!!!
