N8: Gmail mailbox doesn't work

Just got my new N8 and first things first, setting up the gmail account. However, when I add the "Gmail mailbox", during "Configuring mailbox" it says "Unable to connect with information provided. Try again". I have tried again, and again, and even verified multiple times through a browser that the information is correct. Doesn't work.

 

I have also tried adding a "Mail for Exchange account" as outlined somewhere on Gmail's help pages, which does show _one_ mail in the inbox but nothing more, and I cannot send mail or anything.

 

I'm starting to think the software is seriously broken, but please please, pretty please prove me wrong, and get me up and running with my gmail account.

Re: N8: Gmail mailbox doesn't work

Hi, please search the forum first, there are many topics regarding your problem, don't just start a new one thinking no one else thought about it. Anyways, yes there seems to be a problem with some handsets, I personally use the Googles Gmail app from their website. I suggest you do some more searching in the forum and find the other topics about this problem, thanks
