K550 and gmail, all in one

Hi there!

Today I’ve been dealing with my mobile phone Sony Ericsson K550 (by Movistar Chile) to get my gmail mail account working, after an hour I had success
Well, I’ll show you the steps that I carried out…

• Go to Messaging ->Email -> Settings -> New Account.
• Account Name: Anytext that help you indentify your account. In my case, I put “brange”.
• Email Alert: Message Alert 1.
• Connect Using: WAP MOVISTAR
• Email Address: my_user_name@gmail.com
• Connection Type: IMAP4
• Incomming Server: imap.gmail.com
• Username: my_user_name@gmail.com
• Password: ********* (My password)
• Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Advanced Setting:

Check Interval: 4 h

Push email: Off

Allow connection: Home Network

If you have some issues when try to send mail from your phone, maybe is because you need install a certificate. You have 2 choice.

• Download it directly from you mobile. I did it. Go to Internet and enter a address: http://www.verisign.com/cgi-bin/support/rootcert/getrootcert.cer
• Download the file in your PC and then, transfer it to your phone and install/open it.
