Re: bb mail or gmail
Here are the disadvantages to the carrier blackberry.net address: You can only read it on the blackberry, and only so long as you have THAT BIS account. If BIS goes down you can't go and log in to your inbox on another machine. If you want to keep the message indefinitely, you either save it on the device or forward it to another email address and save or print it there.
The above disadvantages are solved with an ISP web mail address or internet email like Yahoo or Google. But there may be advantages to the blackberry.net for you, for certain things. I have a number of email addresses setup, including the blackberry.net address which I use for certain specific purposes, recognizing the limitations. |

Another disadvantage i the carrier account is totally unfiltered. If the account gets out and is "harvested" you will get more SPAM than you care to see.
I do not recommend using that account for anything. |
Re: bb mail or gmail
No brainer then, I will use my Gmail account with the Bb and forward my mobileme mail to gmail.....................thanks for the heads up

It would be easier to just set up your MobileMe account directly on your BlackBerry in addition to your GMail account. |

Re: bb mail or gmail
I only use my BlackBerry email address to send things I want to go ONLY to my BlackBerry itself. Otherwise I use GMail and Apple's MobileMe.
The other great thing about using a GMail account is that you can automatically sync/back up your contacts to Google. When you get a new BlackBerry you just set up that same GMail account on it and all your contacts can be downloaded to the new device. Sweet! |

Anyway not to deviate to much away from the original topic, do you think that the mobileme or the gmail is the best option for a BB?? Thanks |

GMail offers wireless sync of calendar and contacts in addition to wireless email delivery. MobileMe offers wireless email delivery only. Neither supports subfolders, so that should be a non-issue. Not sure what problems you might be expecting. Can you explain? |
Re: bb mail or gmail
It's important to realize that email is one thing, and your contacts,calendar,notes,tasks is something else. If you have 10 email accounts, it doesn't matter, but you can only sync one set of calendar, contacts, notes, tasks with another data set (i.e. your contact book on your phone with contacts in Outlook)
