Getting an error "Cannot Connect Using SSL"

[Clay]

What are you trying to do now?

[Chris G]

I used the instructions here to set it up:

macosxhints.com - Use Gmail to send iPhone email on EDGE and wi-fi

I got the "Cannot Connect Using SSL" error.

I turned off SSL.

Then it just said it could not send from the server.

I've tried variations:
smtp.gmail.com
smtp.Gmail.com:587
Gmail.com:587
gmail.com:587
Gmail.com
gmail.com

Cannot get it to work.

You shouldn't have to make any manual settings. Its all built in. Just choose GMAIL when you first go to MAIL on your iPhone.

Right?

Or - do it like I do by just going to http://www.gmail.com on your iphone. Works like a charm.

When I choose MAIL, it give me three options:

Inbox
Outbox
Trash

Should look something like this:

I think that's what it looks like the very first time you launch, when you've never used it before. I set up email accounts already. When I open mail, it goes straight to a screen with:

Inbox
Outbox
Trash

I figured it out.

smtp.gmail.com
SSL turned on.

Works.
