Question

How do you use gmail on the Samsung Blast. When I try to sign in i type in my email ***********@gmail.com (not really my email, just didn't want to show it this public) and then my pass and what not, but when it tries to sign in i get a message saying "The system failed to login the e-mail account. Authentication failed." Oh by the way, i go in through "Other 1"

Log in to your Gmail account from your PC.

Select Settings at the top of any Gmail page.

Select the Forwarding and POP tab in the orange Mail

If you have a device without a touch screen, start here.

MSN Hotmail and Windows Live Mail

Now you can auto-configure Gmail from your Pocket PC phone:

Press Start and scroll to Messaging.

Select Menu > Tools > New Account.

Enter your e-mail address

In the Auto configuration screen, wait until the Status changes from Connecting to Completed.

Enter your name, user name, and password. If you want your smartphone to save your password, so you won’t have to enter it every time you want to check your mail, check the box next to Save password.

Select Next.

Ensure Account type is set to POP3.

Select Next.

Make sure that Incoming Mail is set to pop.gmail.com:995

Select Finish.

Select Yes to confirm that you would like to download mail for this new account now.
