GMail for Droid X

[raelssur]

anyone else having problems receiving their gmail on their droid today?  They are coming into my computer gmail account but not onto my phone.

Not near a pc/laptop right now, but I just sent myself an email from hotmail to gmail on my phone and it came right through.

Same here, have sent multiple emails without issues so far but my Yahoo has been acting a bit strange.

Hello,

Thank you Community Members for providing assistance. It is very much appreciated.

If you have received email from your GMAIL account to your device previously, I would power off your device and turn it back on. If this doesn't resolve the problem, I recommend checking your GMAIL account settings to ensure POP3 or IMAP is enabled, or simply use the GMAIL application already installed on your device. More information can be found at the link below:

Another troubleshooting tip is to delete the email account from your device and re-add.  A helpful tool for your device can be found at the web link below:

why does pop3/imap need to be enabled to use gmail account?

I recommend checking our incoming and outgoing email settings. I have listed the steps below.

1. From the home screen, select the applications tab (located on the bottom of the display).
   
   
2. Select Settings.
   
   
3. Select Accounts.
   
   
4. Select the email account. You will have four different options in your settings to check. Ensure the green check mark is marked enabling the setting.

1. Verify the General settings.
   • Account name
   • Real name
   • Email address
2. Select Ok.

   Enabled when a green check mark is present.
   
   
5. If applicable, select Verify Certificate.
   Enabled when a green check mark is present.
   
   
6. Select Ok.
   
   

Outgoing server

server addresses, secure/verify?????... maybe for a pop3 account but not gmail.

First, try turning off your phone and then restart it. That usually works. I would also go into settings and make sure that the Sync Gmail check is a bright green. Settings>Accounts>Gmail, and check the four synch buttons.
