The gmail java app on my phone is working ok for me today (connecting via Edge)

Yeah i deleted it and reinstalled it and now its working again?

Weird?

Remember that java apps needs your phone to have an APN (access point name) defined.

On all networks in SA it is 'internet' but on virgin it is 'vdata'.

Find your access point name on the phone and set it to 'vdata'.

Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks!

But that was not the problem.

I set my normal gmail web account to only use https connection. So i couldnt connect to gmail mobile app cause my https was not enabled there, once i enabled in on the app, it worked again.

I use the mail.google.com from my wap browser.
