recently bought HTC Vivid. tried to setup IMAP account requiring SSL. unable to send but receiving email is OK. mail program was force closed when i went through account setup again. i tried a couple of Vivid in ATT store (thanks Alexis) and got same result. i don't know if it just Vivid or HTC issue. BTW, i really like Vivid. any idea?

Hello. I, too had problems attempting to access e mail on my Vivid. I found this solution, and it now works for me. I hope this helps. To configure the 'Email' app on an Android device for access to Gmail, just follow the steps below:
1.Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2.On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
3.On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
4.Enter your full Gmail address and password, then select Next.
5.On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.

And you're done. You can verify your settings from the Inbox view by tapping < Menu > > Account settings.


Incoming settings
IMAP server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
