Help How do you configure Gmail with Exchange/ActiveSync?

[kraized]

Hi, I'm trying to configure my Gmail account using Exchange ActiveSync but cannot find the settings anywhere. Using the details from my iPhone don't seem to work. Android just says it cannot connect to the server. Any ideas?

Im no expert but i don't thing you should be using exchange set up for gmail. If you go into settings, accounts and sync, add account, in there you will see a setting for google. that is one I used for my gmail account..

The only advantage is to have one point for all email. I have seven accounts, some IMAP, some pop. I want a unified mailbox where all mail gets deposited, but I want gmail push to work as well as it works in the gmail client, hence the settiings.

When you are asked for your username make sure it is your entire gmail address; user@gmail.com. Must do this in all fields where asked for this. Also, don

There is obviously another problem here. I have set this up on more than 10 phones, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc. And never what you are experiencing. I would look elsewhere, sorry.

OK, thanks for your help.

The options I have are;

Email address: My Gmail email address
Password: My Gmail password
Domain/User Name: Here I put ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Exchange server: m.google.com

These settings don't work for me.

Your Domain/UserName should be ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM/username@gmail.com

My Galaxy Tab 7 from Verizon was updated to Gingerbread and I was able to have more than one Exchange accounts; so I setup all my gmail accounts as Exchange accounts. The settings worked great, but I'm having a problem retrieving my messages. I'm geting the "Message Fetch Error. Try Again" error whenever I press the Load more details button.

How do I fix this.

I'm having similar problems to some of the (old) posts above on my Galaxy Note.

To my great surprise I marginally prefer the Touchwiz email app to the gmail app - I don't do much labelling etc and I like the unread count that defaults on the default email app. I can set it up fine with IMAP but ideally I'd like to enable push with the Exchange settings.

Anyone know how? I tried stevehy's helpful suggestions but alas, didn't work.

I figure the settings will be largely the same on the Note as they are on the S2.

I started to enter following settings on my samsung galaxy note:

Email address: myid@ gmail .com
Password: my gmail password
Domain: aspmx.l.google.com
Exchange server: m.google.com

after the communication with google server the setting appears as follows:

Domain\User name: aspmx.l.google.com\myid@ gmail .com
Password: my gmail password
Exchange server: m.google.com

Working fine & perfect gmail push

Note: Galaxy note supports multiple Exchange accounts.
