I have a Nokia N73 mobile. I tried to configure my gmail id in the
mailbox service of my mobile. I followed the instruction in Help
section of GMail. I have made the changes in mailbox settings of my
mobile and in my gmail “POP Settings”. But still I am getting an error
as “Server Not Found”.
I have an Airtel connection and my GPRS service is active. I am able to browse internet through my phone’s browser. I have
chosen the access point as AirtelLive! Please help & suggest the
proper way to configure my mailbox.

@Debabrata Das
You are using airtel live, if you are using airtel live then you will not be able to use gmail.
First activate internet on your mobile.
SMS “INTERNET ON” to 121, you will be charged 15rs per day.
save the settings they send you, and set your acess point as mobile office.
Now follow the instructions given above and your gmail should be working now.
GoodLuck

Hi!
I followed as it said! I own N73 ME and use Airtel Mobile office plan.. and whenever i try to send email (using Gmail A/C) i get an error “General: Feature not supported”.. what is it? please help me.
April 20th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Hi Pradeep
did you enable POP3 access in your gmail account??
I also own a N73 ME and I dint have any problems with it, I followed the above procedure and i was successful in sending mails through my cell phone.
Please go thorough the procedure once again and let me know if you still have any problem.

Hi Satish!
ya i enabled POP3 in Gmail setting! The problem is i’m able to recieve mails, but not able to send email.
The setting for Outgoing email which i done for my N73 ME with Airtel Mobile office is:
username with entire email address with password
smtp.gmail.com
when ssl/tls is enabled … nothing happens, my email are still in outbox
….and also i checked with startTLS, for this i get “General: Feature not supported”
port:587
Also i get same error when i do settings with IMAP instead of POP3.
Really i’m also puzzled… some where there must a silly mistake i might have doing with outgoing email setting… Kindly post me the exact setting for the same..
please do the needful…

I guess your outgoing port might be busy with other applications using internet on your mobile, or it may be blocked by some virus. Do a virus scan.
Also try using user defined port.
I’m not sure if this will help you.
Try this, mean while i will try to figure out your problem.
In case if you already solved the problem, post how you solved your problem here.

Worked great for my gmail account on the N95 8GB
I followed the gmail instructions for my phone but outgoing mail failed. It was setup as IMAP before and now it works perfectly with pop3!!!
woohooo
April 24th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Hi,
I am also facing the same problem as Pradeep. Emails are receiving perfectly in my N73’s mailbox. I am using Gmail’s POP3/SMTP.
Whenever i try to send an email more than 100kb, the email just hangs out after 10 or 15 %. Very small email are going perfectly.
I called customer care many times but they are unable to solve the issue.
I am facing this problem for last 2 weeks.
Can anybody help me?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Hi satish!
I got it working!
I used IMAP settings and modified the outgoing server configuration.
I am posting the detail configuration which i used for my mobile device in the following post.

Hi!
I post the below following content with an intention that newbies would be benefited.
I own N73 ME with Airtel network.
Finally IMAP settings worked for me .i changed some of the configuration given in the Gmail IMAP settings for S60 devices. <>
From Gmail questions and answers, i found IMAP4 is more efficient than POP3 settings especially for mobile devices.
(Kindly check Gmail answers for more detail)
Refer Link1:

Refer Link2:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887
The Set-by-step configuration that i did for my mobile..
Symbian S60
To configure IMAP for your Symbian S60 device, just follow these steps:
Kindly note:
Sending/receiving email works only by enabling Mobile office and not with airtel live!.
If have Airtel live! settings already in your mobile, the send sms “GPRS”(obviously without quotes) to 56789 for Mobile Office activation.
From your PC.
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
Then from your Mobile device.
2. Select ‘Messaging’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘E-mail’ > ‘Mailboxes.’
3. If you have never set up email on your phone before, select ‘Yes’ to define a new mailbox. If you already have other mailboxes, select ‘Options’ and then ‘New mailbox.’
4. Select ‘Start’ to begin the setup wizard.
5. Select ‘IMAP4′ and then ‘Next.’
6. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com’) as the email address and select ‘Next.’
7. Enter ‘imap.gmail.com’ as the incoming mail server and select ‘Next.’
8. Enter ’smtp.gmail.com’ as the outgoing mail server and select ‘Next.’
9. Select the appropriate access point and then ‘Next.’
10. Enter a descriptive name for the email account mailbox name.
11. Once your mailbox is set up, select it from the email mailbox settings screen.
12. Select ‘Connection settings’ > ‘Incoming e-mail.’
13. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com’) and password.
14. Select ‘SSL/TLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘993.’
15. Select ‘Back.’
16. Select ‘Outgoing e-mail.’
17. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com’) and password.
[18]. Select ‘SSL/TLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘465.’ —
19. Select ‘Back’ and change any other settings according to your preferences. (OPTIONAL)
20. Check the recommended client settings, and adjust your client’s settings as needed.(OPTIONAL)
Good luck!
I thank for the geniushackers.com posts and Mr.Satish for his great support.

Hi !
Simply the content in the “” is not displayed… I’m reposting the details..
The Change i made for IMAP4 settings..
Step [18] use SSL/TLS for outgoing server and Port ‘465′.. instead of StartTLS and port ‘587′ which is not working for my device.
