2 THINGS BEFORE YOU START:

A. Make sure you have internet connection, and your internet settings (WAP) correctly configured before starting

B. On your computer, go to gmail and log in, after logging in, go to settings and go to Forwarding and POP tab, enable pop for mail that arrives
from now on and save changes.

Now you're ready to setup your email on your M600i:

Here are the step by step :

- From standby screen, tap on messaging ( if this is in your shortcuts), if not then tap on main menu and then messaging.

- Tap more ( lower right hand side), and go to settings, then go to email accounts

- Create an email account if don't have one and then onto the 3 Tabs which is BASIC, INBOX, and OUTBOX

- Let's do Basic tab first:

1. BASIC

Account name : gmail

Your name : Whatever it is you want

Email address : youremail@gmail.com

Connection type: POP3

Allow IMAP idle : uncheck

After filling up the Basic tab , tap more with your stylus ( lower right hand side), and go to advanced

- Under Advanced, there are 2 tabs, Incoming, and Outgoing, lets do Incoming first.

A. Incoming Tab

Secure Connection : SSL

Incoming mail port: 995

Secure password authentication : uncheck

B. Ougoing Tab

Secure Connection : SSL

Outgoing mail port : 465

Use MIME encoding : check it

Now we are done with the Basic tab, onto the 2nd one

2. INBOX

Incoming server address: pop.gmail.com

Username: youremail@gmail.com

Password : your password

Download restrictions: No restrictions

Smaller than : it's upto you

Limit number of emails : it's upto you

Receive using group: Internet

Last Tab

3. OUTBOX

Outgoing server address: smtp.gmail.com

Use SMTP authentication : check it

Use Inbox login details : check it

Username : yourmail@gmail.com

Password : your password

Send using group: Internet

Save it and there you go, you are all set, to make sure it is working, send an email from a different email address from your computer to your phone,

and then go to messaging and click more and then tap on Get & send. wait a few seconds ( 15-30 ) and you should get the email that you sent from your computer to your m600i.

FYI.. there's already an auto configurator on SE's website to do all that, including setting up internet access all in one step.
However, make sure you use the UK site, so that the option for m600i will be on the list.

I did this exact setting and it just times out when I attempt to send/receive.

Weird thing is tho, that I have a Nokia S60 phone now (sold the M600i) and similar settings work just fine on that for POP3 g-mail.

The gmail mobile application works pretty well though, so might as well just install that and be done with it.

Go for the Gmail mobile app. It works so much better and looks like the real thing

I'm sorry it didn't work for the other people. Maybe double check your settings again?
