"Cannot Connect Usine SSL"

I received the same error...did it give you an option to skip SSL?

If not go into your settings menu, click on 'Mail' then click on the account you created. Once in there, turn SSL off in the incoming and outgoing servers.

Hope that helps 🙂

I hear ya, I did the same.

Why don't you delete that account and try it again...I just did a test and it is working fine on mine. I know that does not help you though.

Not to point out the obvious, however, when setting up the acct on your touch you did select gmail right? Or did you select POP? If you select gmail it just asks for your name, e mail, and password.

I received the same message. I remembered I was signed into my Gmail account through Safari; so, signed out and the account verified. Hopefully you'll have the same experience.

Does Mail on the Touch support SSL at all?

"Cannot Connect Using SSL" could also mean that it cannot do any SSL at all. Since I am expecting to use many open/public WLANs the use of SSL is really a must.

You could try creating a new Gmail account just for testing purposes. That should not interfere with any existing account or configuration. Otherwise, disable Gmail on the BB for a few hours and then try connecting again with the Touch. If the IMAP server is accessed from distinctly different IP address for the same account at the same time it may get confused (shouldn't, but you never know).

Also check out http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodtouch_FeaturesGuide.pdf - it has detailed setup instructions on p. ~50 and ~80. The manual implies that SSL in mail is supported: "To adjust SSL and password settings, tap Advanced." (p. 81)
