Adding a google mail account to a P990i

I finally managed to figure out secure email config for the P990i. This allowed me to set up both my home account and a google mail account.

With the flap open:

First - get to the correct configuration:

  1. go to Control Panel
  2. then Messaging
  3. then E-Mail Accounts
  4. then the New Button

Now - fill out

Basic Tab
Account Name: google
Your Name: Your full name
Email Address: Your google mail email address
Connection Type: POP3

Inbox Tab
Incoming Server Address: pop.googlemail.com
Username: Your google mail email address
Password: Your google mail email password

Outbox Tab
Outgoing server address: smtp.googlemail.com
Use SMTP auth: checked
Use Inbox login details: checked

Now - we need to be secure. Take the E-Mail account menu > Advanced option (menu at the top of the screen)

Incoming:
Secure connection: SSL
Incoming mail port: 995

Outgoing tab
Secure Connection: TLS
Outgoing port: 587

Finally Save, Save and then Done.

Now google mail should be available in your messages app.
