How To Set Up Gmail On Your Nokia N82

Ref Link

有試過可以運作,真是太神奇了.

手機需要有比較好的操作介面,才會更貼近使用者。

看來如果打字還是要用 QWERTY 鍵盤比較方便。

如果上網費用和使用者介面能夠改進的話,一定會很流行。

There are a few ways to check your Gmail on your Nokia N82, I mentioned one way a few weeks ago. Lately I've been using the built-in email application on the N82, and I'm loving it once again. If you set up your Gmail using this method, it will keep your real Gmail inbox in your browser and your phone's inbox in sync. If you dig deep enough into the settings you can even set up your labels as folders. I just use my normal inbox on my N82, and deal with the Gmail labels in Firefox.

Here is how to set up your Gmail for your Nokia N82:

How To Setup Gmail On Your S60 Device:

1.Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
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 'StartTLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '587.'
19.Select 'Back' and change any other settings according to your preferences.

Gmail's IMAP vs. POP
The reason why I use Gmail's IMAP service is because it keeps your mail in sync between both devices, unlike POP setup. If I read an email on my phone, it shows as "read" on both my computer and phone. Same goes for the other way around. Check it on my computer, and it shows as "read" on my phone as well. You can set it to check your mail at different intervals, mine is set to 2 hours, unless I'm expecting an important email.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. It can be tricky, you gotta follow the steps exactly and make sure you type everything right.
