I don't know why this is but on my TP I can not connect while my wifi is on, try turning it off and see if this helps or check your settings when you set up the GMAIL make sure your connections is set right.

that happens somtimes... wait a few hours and try again. Must be something on googles side that prevents connection. Its happened to me since my mogul... it will connect eventually.

i have everything set up right but it saying cant connect to my current connection or can't find a connection. how do you set it up exactly?

alright. go to your gmail and set up email forwarding (see strra's post) and then try.

I use SASHIMI to import this xml but AdvancedConfig should work for for this as well. Just choose import xml from the menu like you would for the settings backup.

<wap-provisioningdoc>
