How To Configure Samsung Star(S5233)/Star 3G (S5603) For POP3 Email Settings
Here is a quick tutorial of configuring Samsung Star S5233 / Star 3G S5603 & S5600 Preston /Star Wi Fi for setting up the email client inside the phone with its POP3 Settings for Gmail.
NOTE : VERY FIRST ENABLE POP3 FROM YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT SETTINGS. LOG IN TO YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT > ON TOP RIGHT CLICK ON SETTINGS >THEN CLICK FORWARDING & POP3 > THEN ENABLE POP3 FOR ALL MAIL OR YOU CAN SELECT OTHER OPTION. BUT AT LEAST POP3 MUST BE ENABLED. THEN SAVE CHANGES.
POP3 Gmail Settings For Samsung Star Cellphones:
Go To > Menu > Messages
Click Settings > Email
Then Touch >Email Setup Wizard
Notice will ocuur Touch > OK
Give name to your account E.g Gmail
Enter your email id : yourname@gmail.com , Then Enter Password for your account.
Incoming Server type : POP3
Incoming Server : pop.gmail.com
Outgoing Server SMTP : smtp.gmail.com
Secured Connection : Off
Then touch OK & it will display your POP3email account configured successfully. Now press back button and tap on Email Accounts, then touch the email account you have just created. There some more option than above you just have to edit that.
Secured Connection: Off
POP3 Port: 995
SMTP Port : 587
Now, Tick The option APOP Login.
Download Limit: 500
Secured connection: SSL (Choose SSL for second option only & not for first option.)
Retrieving Option: Choose Subject only
Keep On Server: Tick
My Address: yourname @gmail.com
Username /Password : same as you entered above
POP before SMTP : Dont Tick
SMTP Auth: Tick
Same as POP3/IMAP4 : Tick
And Finally Save All Settings.
That’s it !!!, Now you can retrieve your message from your mail box & Click on Download to download all messages.
But , Do you want your Samsung star phone to automatically download your messages ? Here is a small option they have given for that.
Go To Message > Settings > Email > Receiving Options
Download Limit: 300KB
Auto polling: Home Network Only
Following option is time after when email is downloaded automatically.
Polling Frequency: 30 Minutes (you can choose higher if you want)
Send read report: Tick
And again your emails will be automatically recovered from server at every 30 minutes. And you’ll get notified near your message notifier on your home screen if there is any unread emails.
You can also optionally block email id’s or subject that you don’t wish to receive on your Samsung Star.
Let me know if you come across some problems. I am also trying to setup with IMAP functionality & will inform with new post. till then enjoy your emails on your Samsung Star, Star wi fi,Star 3G/ Preston 5600

Tick the SSL option on

Thanks amol I managed to get it corrected. Below the smtp port there is any option for secure connection. If that is also turned to ssl mode the outgoing mails are sent. May be this will help others.
Thanks anyways.

hi i have a samsung monte s5620 what are the settings for a aol account and will it be free if connect through wifi ?
May 24, 2010
Thanks a lot. your direction is clear. Just to share my experience, i have stuck with yahoo id, since maybe its only work for yahoo plus. but you can trick it with forwarding your yahoo to gmail account (you can find it on yahoo email setting option > more option > pop up and forwarding > forward your yahoo mail to gmail address). You have to creat gmail adress for that. it work for me. good luck!

Tried this with Hotmail (found settings on the internet), but it won’t work in any way. It doesn’t even mather which port, ssl/tsl on or off, etc…
July 17, 2010
Doesn’t even work with Gmail…
July 17, 2010
Please make sure your POP3 settings are enabled from your gmail account
July 23, 2010
I Googled a lot, and I’ve tried at least 10 kinds of POP3+SMTP and 10 of IMAP4+SMTP settings, none of them worked. Yes, I am sure I enabled POP and IMAP in GMail.
I am sure that my connection is good, because I can use all the other internet based things, like the internet browser and GMail’s J2ME/Java app. But I want my phone to alert/vibrate when I got an e-mail…
Even when I Google Hotmail settings it doesn’t work.
Another thing I’m sure about is that GMail and Hotmail are configured well. I can use both in computer software, like Outlook and Firebird.
July 17, 2010
Please make sure your POP3 settings are enabled from your hotmail account
July 23, 2010
What I forgot to put in my last comment:
Each time I’m trying something from the internet, my Star gives another message: sometimes about DNS or the connection, other times about ‘unanswered’ server things…
July 19, 2010
