Receive mails from Gmail Using Exchange Active Synch In Samsung GT B5310 Corby-Pro

I am using these settings on a wi-fi connection and they work very well.

Caution : Backup your phonebook. It'll format it on first successful synch

So first of all when you click on Exchange active synch it'll ask you for you network. There you select your wi-fi connection and then in server settings...

Server URL: m.google.com
Username: username@gmail.com
Password: yourpassword
Domain: google
Use SSL: on

Click Save

It works well for me....hope it helps you too..
