Android G1 has annoying email problem
It appears that that someone has noticed a slight problem with Google Android, and the problem seems to be with email and that the Google Android T-Mobile G1 is simply too smart a phone.
The guy complains…” I’ve got my own mail server and use IMAP and SMTP with SSL, and a self-signed SSL certificate. I tried to add the server, but when it checks the server settings, it says, “Setup could not finish – Cannot safely connect to server (Not trusted server certificate)”
And he goes on to say that the issue with the G1 is not having an option of adding his own certificates, and sees this as a shortcoming.
So is this a problem on the Google Android platform, any one else having the same problem?

I am also having POP mail problems (as are 100s of others – see the TMobile bulletin boards). POP mail, once configured, results in connectivity errors 90% of the time when trying to retrieve mail. Furthermore, POP mail does not get pushed to the device and no email notifications come up (as they do when you have configured GMail) and email returns to an unread state after reading. I have not heard a satisfactory explanation or comments to address this going forward and will be returning my G1.
What are you reporting here? Some anonymous person has a problem setting up email on their G1, thats it? why does this come up third when i search google news for the word ‘android’? Is this the biggest news about android right now? No. stop reporting this bull crap, thanks.
I second sam.
Sam – Go to the TMobile message boards where you will not only find 100s of users who have reported this issue, but where you will also find TMobile admins who are confirming the issue and stating that it’s a “high-priority” issue for fix.
And for the record, I don’t appreciate your rudeness and think you should reconsider your tone.
Oh the beauty of open interface. Do you all think they won’t find a solution to the problem??? Just be patient.
Go to this site http://www.g1apps.net/communication/sync-g1-outlook-yahoo-mail-aol/
Might solve your issues
Bobby – The link you have provided refers to *contact* synchronization. The issue folks experiencing with POP relates to *email* synchronization.
Of course a fix will eventually be released, but until then, if you rely on POP email in any serious capacity, this phone has major issues.
By the time they fix the bug, a newer, cooler phone that runs Android will be out. I’ll take that phone.
Tudor –
I am having the same problems and find little information on the acknowledgement that there is a problem. I’ve talked to 2 people in tech support who told me to wait 72 hours until full provisioning is complete… Can someone reference the TMOBILE sites that acknowledge this?
I have connection problems with Yahoo mail and no notification status of yahoo mail. GMAIL is quick and works great.

Hey Pete – The TMobile forums have the information you’re looking for:

Look in the G1 discussion boards on it.
Absurd. No way to import an organization’s in-house certificate authority root certificate! Absurd. This is bonkers. I hope this is fixed post haste. If it is not, it brings in to question *everything* about this phone’s OS, its design, its support, its future, everything.
My G1 receives email fine, but can NOT send, unless to my own email address. It was fine for 3 months, then outgoing mail just sits in out box
after i had some problems with my g1 phone i had to reset it to factory setting , i trying to activated and asked for gmail i create one and that is what i got ;there is a problem communicating with the google servers.
this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services."
any help plese
