Gmail Messages Sent From BB Not Shown On Desktop
I use Gmail for my email. While all of the messages I receive on my BB are shown on my desktop Gmail inbox, messages I send from my BB do not appear on my desktop Gmail sent box. Can anyone help me configure my system so that the messages I send from my BB are stored on my Gmail sent archives for future reference?

You could setup a 'Auto BCC' through BIS which would send a copy of your sent messages to your gmail inbox.

So yes you could get that sent mail to show up in gmail, but in the process gmail will forward it to your BB. So the sent mail will show up on the BB twice (once as a sent item and the next as a new email). |
Ugh, didnt think of that one...hmm, maybe Auto BCC to another email instead?

OR, have the BCC setup to goto his main gmail address. Setup a filter thru BIS and 'Do not forward messages to handheld' that are coming from his BB address. I just set that up myself and seemed to work.

Exact Procedure for Auto BCC on GMail
You can set a series of two filters in GMail to take care of the auto-BCC feedback problem. This is really tricky, so pay attention to all the details:
1. In BIS (Profile), set Auto BCC on and direct the messages to your GMail account. The reply-to address for messages sent from your BB should be your GMail account, e.g. 2. In BIS (Options), create and set an Auto signature. Make a note of the exact text that you use for this signature. Typically, it says "Sent via Blackberry" etc. 3. Create a Label in GMail named "BLACKBERRY SENT" or another of your choice. 4. In your GMail account, go to Settings/Forwarding and POP. Set "Disable forwarding". Yes, DISABLE THIS. You are going to use filters to replace this function. 5. In GMail, go to Settings/Filters. You are going to create two filters, and the order of these filters is critical.
7. Messages you send from your BB will appear in the GMail ARCHIVE, not the Inbox, but will be labled "BLACKBERRY SENT". It is possible to remove the archive designation after the fact and put the msgs back in the Inbox, but I prefer just to leave them in Archives. |
Wow, noremac, great work. I'll try it.

Questions: 1.) My header is defaulted to "using:desktop". Is there a way to change the default to where I will automatically have the "using:web client" feature enabled so that I don't have to remember to change the option? 2) Is there a way to get your fix to work with reply emails, as it does with new messages with "using web client" enabled? 3) Will the more complicated workaround suggested by noremac resolve the issues I raise? |

edit; I notice when I open my received mail that it comes in through "using:desktop". However, when I click on "reply", the headers dissapear, and I can't change this option. Perhaps there's an option where I can force all my received mail to come in through "using:web client", instead of the "using:desktop", which is the default now. Any ideas on how I can do this, so that my "reply to" email reaches my gmail mailroom. |
I guess I'm too much of a newbie to understand the terminology "using:web client" and "using:desktop". Where does this function/distinction get inserted? What does it basically mean? Where do you view it?

The function is at the very top of the page when you click on "compose email", and it is set out as "using:web client" or "using:desktop". You can change it by turning your track wheel to and highlighting that field, clicking the track wheel, and when the various options appear on your screen, clicking it to "change option". It then gives you an option of "using:web client" or "using:desktop". When you open a received email, the function again appears at the top of the page. Mine says "using:desktop (secure)". When you click reply, the field disappears, and I lose the option to change the field (so I guess the reply email goes through "desktop"). Your fix works perfectly for me noremac -- my sent emails do not appear on my BB, but they do end up on my Gmail folder on my PC. However, this only happens when I send new emails through "using:web client", and not when I have the "using:desktop" option, and it never happens when I reply to an email, since all my emails come in with the "using:desktop (secure)" option, and I don't have an otion (or can't figure out a way) to change my replies to "web client". Thanks for your help. BTW, for a newbie you sure know your way around email systems. |
guinda-
Are you only using BIS with POP and/or forwarding? Do you use Redirector? |

Ohh!! You have a BES account! That's probably what is generating the "using:desktop" option.

thanks noremac. works great.
FYI for those on tmobile - i had to remove my gmail addy from BIS for this to work correctly. |
Anyone get this working while using a BES? I am trying, but with no luck thus far. Ideas?
