Google-Powered Email: Setting up the Account

Just set up a gmail account on the iPhone, and for your username put in user@domain.com. The POP3 and SMTp settings are automatic.

Google for domains works the same a gmail.

My gmail account uses outgoing server smtp.gmail.com.

On Advanced/incoming settings I have Use SSL turned on, IMAP Path Prefix just has /
Server port is 993

Delete the account that you already set up...

Create a new account, choose gmail. Then for your username, put your full email address.

There is no server: impap.gmail.com

Host Name should be: pop.gmail.com
SMTP Server should be: smtp.gmail.com

If you choose to let the iPhone set up the account you don't have to worry about gmail's non-standard ports. It's a lot easier to just create the account again and create it as a gmail account. That's what I did for both of my domain names where I let gmail to the mail hosting.

Gmail can be accessed by imap or pop. When using imap, it is proper to use imap.gmail.com per Google's instructions: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78799

However as long as port is set to 993 it will work. There is no way to set up the google pop or imap machine name, the iphone does that automatically when you select Gmail as your account type.

Using another domain name is a new wrinkle, Can't offer any help on that.

Are you sure it's powered by Google?

Google for domains is the same setup as GMail. It's just that your user name includes the domain.

Assuming that your email is Google Apps then

Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com'

Just to cover all bases....

You did authorize pop and imap in the Gmail web interface ?????

The problem might be on google's end. We have our student email here on our campus powered by google, but we use LDAP to authenticate. The problem is there is a default password on the google's side that cannot be changed. That is why students here cannot access their email with pop or imap until we figure out a way to change the password for their student account on the google side.

How do you get mail on a computer? Is it via a client like Outlook or a webpage?

Try setting it up while on a WiFi network instead of 3G. That has helped me in the past.

Hope this helps.
