    Hi guys,

    Please help!

    Because I am going abroad for holiday so I have to switch my passport to my old 9900 to take advantage of the 10mb daily allowance and when I tried to set the gmail up it won't let. keep saying the username and password are incorrect but I know the fact it is correct and I even received an email from Google say they blocked my sign in but I selected the "it was me" option but still can't set the email up.

    I used the 9900 about the same time last year I didn't have any problem my gmail.

    Can anyone advise please?

    Many thanks in advance

    Dan

    Log in to Gmail from a web browser, and go to your Google My Account settings. From there, navigate to the Sign-in & Security section, where you will find the option for "Allow less secure apps". This appears to be a more recent Google implementation, and may interfere with the BlackBerry 9900 authenticating with Gmail. Turn this feature ON, and then try setting up your Gmail on the 9900 again.

    I already did that and it is on "on". I have no problem with my hotmail and yahoo accounts. it just keep saying in valid username and password.

    I have just signed in my gmail account witht he same username and password using the browser so what's wrong with the 9900 email client and gmail?

    Anyone help please!!!!! i am begging!!!!

    Worst case, just use gmail.com from your browser if you can't get it going.

    Anyone have any idea why my Google calendar events are syncing one day off? Most of the calendar items on BB are listed exactly one day prior to the actual event. So in order to see today's entries, I have to look at yesterday.

    Oddly, I have found one appointment that is scheduled on the correct day. Also, the all day events seem to be on the correct day.

    Thanks you terminatorx... your tip solved it:

    "2. You can try the Captcha page https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha from the phone's Browser or a pc which should allow you a 10 minute window of opportunity."
