I picked up my new iphone today & set up connection to my gmail account without a probelm.

I then tried to set up access to the Google Apps mail account I use. (it collects mail from 5 business email accounts for me)

I am getting the message

"the mail server pop.gmail is not responding"

I have checked settings and they are fine.

SSL is on & POP is selected


Anyone got any ideas how i can get my business emails??

You should have set it up as exchange or imap anyway.

And the problem was you didn't have the whole pop address in. You needed pop.gmail.com

Yeah, set it up as Exchange and your life will be much better. Use the same login info, blank domain, and for the server that appears after clicking Next, enter m.google.com
