I’ve been asked by a few people to explain how to delete their IMAP or POP Mailboxes which they created. It’s quite easy. I’ve put a picture guide to make it even easier.

I am writing this post on setting up Gmail POP email because some people requested it, but I would still recommend using Gmail IMAP Email Settings. which I posted a while back. The easiest way to set up your Gmail POP3 Email Inbox is to go to MENU> TOOLS> SETT.WIZARD> E-MAIL SETTINGS and simply follow the instructions.

The default settings of Settings Wizard is for POP3 Gmail Email Inbox.

Or do it manually by following the steps provided by Gmail here
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287

Standard instructions:

1. Enable POP in your Gmail account. Don’t forget to click Save Changes when you’re done.
2. Configure your client to match the settings below:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:	pop.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:	smtp.gmail.com (use authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:	your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address:	your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)
Password:	your Gmail password

3. You’re now ready to use POP with your Gmail account.

INCOMING E-MAIL Settings

OUTGOING E-MAIL Settings

Go to OPTIONS>CONNECT

Now, go to OPTIONS> RETRIEVE E-MAIL> ALL

That’s it. Now you can start using Gmail POP email.

I will still strongly recommend that you try Gmail IMAP Email as it is faster, and has more benefits than POP3.

Here is the Gmail IMAP Email Settings for Symbian S60 Devices:

Note: I see some people are having trouble deleting their emails. This problem only happens if you delete the email when the Mailbox is “disconnected”.

SOLUTION: Keep the Mailbox “CONNECTED“and then delete your Emails.

There is a problem in the Nokia Email client that when the Email Mailbox is not “Connected” the Inbox does not refresh & deleted emails still show, but the problem can be easily fixed. If you have deleted an Email when DISCONNECTED, and if you still see it, then “CONNECT ” and go to RETRIEVE EMAIL and select NEW. This will refresh your Inbox and the deleted Emails will disappear. If you still see the deleted emails even after connecting, then Disconnect, and CONNECT again. The main purpose of Connecting and Disconnecting is to refresh the Inbox so that it will remove the deleted emails.
