Question. If I have my unity email already sent to my Blackberry do I have to change any settings to get it from this new Google/Unity email?

4/3/2010 2:49:48 AM

^ Yes.

"Activate Google Apps @ NC State account for your mobile device or desktop application (e.g. iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Thunderbird, Outlook etc) You must change your Unity password if you plan on accessing your Google account from anything other than a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome). Just go to the password reset page and change your password once. By doing this, you will activate the ability of your new Google account to allow access from your mobile device or desktop application. This only ever has to be done once for your Google account (though as a reminder, you are required to change your password at least once a year for security reasons)."

^ Fucking how?

4/3/2010 4:42:29 AM

just my gmail, i don't know what this gmail.ncsu.edu business is about

4/3/2010 4:44:19 AM

Took me a bit to figure out how to set it up in Thunderbird.

Server Name: imap.gmail.com
User Name: unityid@ncsu.edu

I'm still trying to figure out the incoming server settings for my android... tried everything, but cannt establish a connection to the server... any suggestions?

4/3/2010 9:10:26 AM

I'm hoping they'll move my account over. I applied for the beta when it became available. I graduated in December, so they probably just want to see my account get deleted.

ok, I got ncsu/gcal syncing to my BB
I think i've got ncsu/gmail syncing to my BB (waiting on next sync)
not sure on outlook though - same servers settings?

hmm, maybe I'll just try to use gmail instead of outlook now... don't see any reason to use an email program anymore

^ It's nice to have integration with a program like Outlook, but the Google Apps suite can pretty much replicate all of it now, and add features like SMS reminders of calendar appointments.

4/3/2010 1:25:29 PM

yeh, it's got a ton of useful features. where in the hell is the contacts manager though?

ha, theme fail. the link for contacts was nearly the same as the background color... couldn't see it

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 1:31 PM. Reason : .]

Dealing with contacts is Google Apps' weakest point.

Open the NCSU Gmail web mail interface, and Contacts should be listed below your folders, lefthand side.

All that said, once you e-mail someone once, Google remembers it across all of their web-driven sites. This is probably a lot more useful if you're not using the BB mail app, but it's something.

4/3/2010 1:31:20 PM

still not receing emails on my bb

4/3/2010 1:33:31 PM

Patience, asshoppa.

4/3/2010 1:38:03 PM

ok wdprice3, i'm gonna try this with you. i think im stuck on the same step...

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 2:12 PM. Reason : yep, outgoing is fine, but no ingoing]

4/3/2010 2:10:31 PM

not receiving emails on your phone? I can send... just not receiving

4/3/2010 2:12:22 PM

^ same problem for me.....

4/3/2010 2:17:19 PM

are you guys using the BB email app or the gmail app? I might try the gmail app

4/3/2010 2:20:57 PM

good point. on the BB app in advanced settings they have a ncsu.edu server as the IMAP server, that may be the problem but if i put a google server it reverts back...

4/3/2010 2:33:22 PM

^yeh,every time I changed it, it made me enter my password then returned an error and set it back to ncsu.edu

4/3/2010 2:34:34 PM

gmail app appears to work

4/3/2010 2:35:14 PM

i forget, will that still push the messages into the BB app?

4/3/2010 2:36:17 PM

no... but I may have lied... it loaded previous new emails, but I sent another after I downloaded the app and no new ones came in until I hit refresh....

4/3/2010 2:38:55 PM

i always have had to refresh gmail app... i just link that ho up to the native bb email

of course i also dont leave it running, i manage everything through my 'messages' so i dont have to do multiple checks and deletes

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 2:45 PM. Reason : yup]

4/3/2010 2:42:14 PM

^I'd like that, but we're not receiving emails in BB email...

4/3/2010 2:44:51 PM

ill check it out as soon as they activate my ncsu account, im still waiting

maybe they just fucked something up

also did you set it up through your online bis account or just straight through the phone?
i generally have more success with online (from a real computer) setup

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 2:48 PM. Reason : holler]

4/3/2010 2:46:46 PM

4/3/2010 2:58:59 PM

who be your provider?

4/3/2010 3:02:15 PM

any easy way to forward old emails in another gmail account to this one? I was using gmail as my NCSU mail back-up... now that I don't need the other gmail account, I'd like to send all the mail over to the new one

^VZW

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 3:02 PM. Reason : .]

4/3/2010 3:02:31 PM

^thats also something i will be trying to do

i use verizon as well, once i get activated ill make some step by step instructs if it works for me

4/3/2010 3:04:37 PM

i, too, have ncsu gmail

4/3/2010 3:10:39 PM

First look here message_topic.aspx?topic=586548&page=2

Second for external devices/programs like BBs outlook, thunderbird etc, you have to resync your ncsu password here sysnews.ncsu.edu/passwd. Just use your existing password in all of them unless you want to change it all up. This resync may take up to an hr, possibly more to work.

Also make sure you physically enable imap output in gmail.

Lastly, for you new ppls, when you "transition" your account, it takes a few hrs to copy all your account over.

wdprice3yes look around in gmail theres a way to connect multiple gmail accounts.

4/3/2010 3:26:35 PM

yeah once you enable POP on all of your other accounts, gmail can fetch all the old mail, its under Settings>>Accounts

4/3/2010 3:30:42 PM

any idea on getting email to work on BBs? We can send, just not receive. I noticed that the BIS has unityid.mail.ncsu.edu as the email server... should it not be imap.gmail.com? If so, the BIS setup won't let us change it (it always reverts back to ncsu.edu)

^so just enable pop for all email on my old gmail. link old gmail to new gmail through new gmail, it automatically loads all email from old gmail. then I can disconnect them?

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 3:33 PM. Reason : .]

4/3/2010 3:31:39 PM

i've fetched like 3000 emails from 3 accounts now. still no luck with the BB, though

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 3:38 PM. Reason : ^yep]

[Edited on April 3, 2010 at 4:01 PM. Reason : I'm pulling in the big guns, asked TT]

4/3/2010 3:36:27 PM

I can't figure this shit out

4/3/2010 4:06:23 PM

i'm getting more and more pissed. doesnt help that my apt is overheating.

4/3/2010 4:07:49 PM

^lol, me too. I also emailed OIT... so maybe we'll get an answer by early next week
