Gmail

Dear all,

How can I have access to my Gmail account through Notes client?

My computer is on a network and I access the internet through a proxy server.

I searched the Internet and found these settings:

==========================================

  1. Go to your Personal Address book, then from the menu select View, then Advanced, then Accounts.

  2. Edit your Outgoing Internet Mail document. It’s the one where the protocol is SMTP.

  3. On the Basics tab, use the following settings:

    Account name: Anything you like. Mine is “Outgoing Internet Mail”

    Account server name: smtp.gmail.com

    Login name: yourAccountName@gmail.com

    Password: your Gmail password

    Protocol: SMTP

    SSL: Enabled

    Only from location(s): Anything you like. I’ve enabled mine for * (all locations)

  4. On the Advanced tab, use the following settings:

    Port number: 465

    Accept SSL site certificates: Yes

    Accept expired SSL certificate: Yes

    Send SSL certificates when asked: No

    Verify account server name with remote server’s certificate: Disabled

    SSL protocol version: Version 3.0 with 2.0 handshake

Now, you shouldn’t have to change your incoming mail server unless you just want to use the Gmail account. Then again, you may want to set up a second account for Gmail so you can pull it into one location (I do it the other way 'round and tell Gmail to forward all of my mail to my normal account). For completeness, here’s how to set up POP access (for incoming mail) to the Gmail server:

  1. Go to your Personal Address book, then from the menu select View, then Advanced, then Accounts.

  2. Edit your Incoming Internet Mail document. It’s the one where the protocol is POP. If this is an additional mail account you can create a new document.

  3. On the Basics tab, use the following settings:

    Account name: Anything you like. Mine is “Incoming Internet Mail”

    Account server name: pop.gmail.com

    Login name: yourAccountName@gmail.com

    Password: your Gmail password

    Protocol: POP

    SSL: Enabled

    Only from location(s): Anything you like. I’ve enabled mine for * (all locations)

  4. On the Protocol Configuration tab, use the following settings:

    Leave mail on server: No

  5. On the Advanced tab, use the following settings:

    Port number: 995

    Accept SSL site certificates: Yes

    Accept expired SSL certificate: Yes

    Send SSL certificates when asked: No

    Verify account server name with remote server’s certificate: Disabled

    SSL protocol version: Version 3.0 with 2.0 handshake

And there you go. You should now be able to send and receive Internet mail from any location without having to jump through hoops.

=========================================

I followed the instructions but nothing happened.

Do I have to create a location document? How the replication occurs and I receive my gmails?

If anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure if this helps but before you are able to retrieve gmail messages through a pop3 client you must enable this from the settings page in gmail.

Are you sure your Notes Admin has made POP/SMTP available on the server side?

Subject: GMAIL

For a general POP3 account the “POPping” occurs when you replicate, so you have to have either a replication schedule or just go to your replicator page and press start.

I have instructions posted on my blog:

At a glance, I do see some differences from what you have posted here.

They don’t seem to work for everyone, but a lot of people have followed them and told me that they work.
