I added my gmail account and the spinner screen appears and sticks around for minutes and never completes. My account has hundred thousands of emails. In any case, this screen must not exist. There should be no blocking email setup screen like that. Can you explain what happens during this pause? All that should happen here is store account and password, maybe create some empty databases, and then kick off the first email sync.

No mail synchronization is happening, something is just busted. Autoconfiguration runs to figure out what type of mail server and hosts to use. In the case of gmail.com, we will load gaia-repo/apps/email/autoconfig/gmail.com from disk and it will tell us to use ActiveSync with m.google.com. We then run ActiveSync autodiscovery against that URL to verify account credentials. We will then synchronize the folder list and once that completes, the account is fully created. An "adb logcat" or secret debug mode log (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Email/SecretDebugMode) can provide extra info.

Is bug 802301 a dup of this issue? I'm seeing this as well on for any mail setup I do. Happy to get better debug data if someone can point me at some steps.

This works for me, and it only takes a couple of seconds before we've verified all the account details. (It's hard to tell exactly how long it takes because my B2G doesn't like to update the UI in real-time anymore.) Is this an actual @gmail.com account, or are you using Google Apps?
I wonder if this may be a duplicate of bug 804765?
The reason I ask, is because I have a gmail account that has a lot of emails; the load more feature isn't implemented yet + a gmail account only downloads so much email in the inbox.

Change the filter range for your account in the settings. ActiveSync doesn't support the "load more" paradigm we use in IMAP.

What is the status in here? Shouldn't this be a blocker?

This is a blocker and we're trying to understand the root problem in this bug.
qawanted : need to check out comment 8, and changing the filter range to see if it's the cause of the issue.

As I understand Andreas' comment, he tried to create the account, and got stuck at the account creation spinner screen. *no mail synchronization occurs during this screen*. Jim's comment 8 was responding to your comment 7, but is not related to this bug. What is most useful is an adb logcat from a gmail account setup that fails, at least one where the preference "browser.dom.window.dump.enabled" is true.

Ok, then it sounds like a problem with authentication? I'll set this to need additional info to ping andreas for the info in comment 12.

Milestoning for C2 (deadline of 12/10), as this meets the criteria of "remaining P1 bugs not already milestoned for C1".
Target Milestone: --- → B2G C2 (20nov-10dec)

We've just switched Gmail to use IMAP instead of ActiveSync. Since the setup process is now very different (and works for me), I'm going to close this bug. However, there will be some other improvements to Gmail setup in bug 810031, so keep an eye on that if things still don't work.
