Messaging: E-Mail server settings not saved

[abbiesomeone]

Hello,

I'm trying to add my Gmail account to the accounts the Messaging checks (WM5). I can add the settings just fine and send and receive e-mail with my Dell Axim V51x.

However, the Gmail information disappears after a soft reset. Only the Hotmail and Outlook E-mail accounts appear. To check e-mail on Gmail, I have to enter all the information over again.

How can I make Messaging save the account information across soft resets?

(My experience with WM5 is limited, so I apologize if this is an elementary question.)

cheers all...

abbiesomeone,

If you have outlook on the desktop that you synch your axim with, you might try adding your gmail account, (Remember to enable Pop in your gmail settings) to outlook, (instructions here) then synch your device with outlook, which it appears you already have done.

I don't believe that you should have any problems synching both your active outlook e-mail, and your gmail setup through outlook to your handheld.

Hope this helps.

I don't know what I did--if anything--but the server settings are now persistant. That is, Gmail appears along with the Hotmail and Outlook accounts.

I use neither of those accounts. I don't suppose there's a way to get rid of them from the list and have only Gmail appear?
