Gmail on iPhone - Anyone know which ports need to be opened for LGFL2??

[nickb23]

Hey guys,

Trying to get gmail to work on the iPhone's mail app within a school network under LGFL2. It keeps on coming up with "the mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding... I emailed Atomwide, who told me to find out which ports need opening. I have had a quick look on google, but could not find any info. Has anyone been able to do it for their school?

 

Thanks in advance....

Proxy settings need updating / adjusting on the wireless connection ( settings --> wireless --> Press on the blue arrow in relation to the wireless connection that you are using or connect to ) --> scroll to the bottom and you should be able to input / adjust the proxy settings ?

 

You using the student proxy settings / staff or what exactly ?

If it helps you can use the official GMail app from Google, works perfectly for us as I presume it must use https ... also they have redesigned it and much better than how it was before, also now supports multiple accounts! )

Thanks Winng. Will email ports to Atomwide.

@mac_shinobi - All proxies are fine. It is just that the ports neet to be open. Hotmail works absolutley fine in the Mail app....

 

Thanks again

If you go into the mail settings I think in the advanced options you can tweak which ports the mail app uses for SMTP / POP etc ?

you can ask the help desk to allow access to the google ranges and that will sort this out for you as well, just need to ask in a support case ....

Jump up and down to Atomwide - they do have the ability and the pre-set firewall rules to open IMAP/SMTP/POP access to all "well-known" email services.
