Thread: Setup > Email settings > Your device had a problem connecting to the server

My ex 9550 (which had this problem when i had it, and now went to my brother), gives me the error from the title.

its a verizon unlocked storm 2, on a GSM argentinian carrier.

i guess its the exact same thing as:

i post this here just in case the CDMA phone has some extra weird thing..

this happened on .320, hybrids older than .428, and now on current hybrids

if there is a better place to post these 2 as one thread, pls direct me to it.

thx

New info:

my friend's 9000 that is Personal Argentina branded, with os 5.0.0.411, can use the mail setup app.

another friend, with a 8520, which came with os 4.*, and was updated to 5.0 before even using it, and that phone IS personal branded, has the same problem as us.

help

Please give me some more information about the problem. Sorry for my ignorance - but please start with me as if I would be a child!

i don't know what else to say

the application for configuring emails AND performin the security activation of gmail sync wont connect...

no matter what i do :P

So you mean you've activated the configuration icon for email/SMS/bluetooth...and then went to email setup and it won't let you connect?

the email setup application fails to connect, yes.

Hi, about your issue in setting up the blackberry mail, you can try the following:

options > advanced options > host routing table > bbmenu > register now > wait a minute or two

Then try again to set up the Blackberry mail. Good luck!
