Firm Gmail, i.e. Google Apps -email, with K9 -email program?

I have this kind of firm url, https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/firm.com. I want to have an IMAP -email account on Android. How can I do it?

I am using the app "My email" by which things do not work. If I use the native Gmail -app, things work out of the box. As for the "My email" -software (that gathers all emails, not just Gmails, under one mailbox), I selected

imap
Email: myName@firm.com

Incoming

Username: myName
Imap Server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Security SSL

Outgoing

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Security: SSL
Require sign-in: yes
Use the same settings as the incoming server: yes

Pressing Next fires "Username or password incorrect" with "s@gmail@firmA@g" while "Unable to open connection to server" with the latter. So how can set up the Google Apps Gmail on Android?

  • If it's Google Apps Gmail you shouldn't need to do anything special with the Gmail app. Add the account MyName@firm.com and give it your password. My company has a Google Apps setup and it works just fine for me. – ale Aug 11 '12 at 02:06
  • Do you by any chance use two factor authentication? –  Aug 11 '12 at 20:17
  • [UPDATE] This solution should work here, haven't tested but I am pretty sure. I flagged for Closing due to duplicate. – hhh Oct 05 '12 at 12:09

For the incoming username, you need to use your complete email address ("myName@firm.com"), not just the account username ("myName").

  • Not working, the same err. – hhh Aug 11 '12 at 18:59
  • Then one of the following should be true: you're entering some of the information incorrectly, the app you're using is broken, or Google has locked your account for too many failed login attempts. – Logos Aug 12 '12 at 13:06

You need to enable IMAP on your account.
