I enabled my pop settings on my gmail acount and followed all instructions.. my web client still says "can not intergrate...."

Am I missing a step here?

Gmail requires authentication did you get that setup in WebClient

[blake.blake]

just use the fowarding option on gmail and it will still come thru your outlook also...

(Log into GMAIL and then post this web address in your brower--after you have logged into gmail)

[GOLIATH]

would it be easier to fwd emails from the gmail to hotmail and fwd hotmail pop3 to the bb? and just use the reply from function?

"Gmail requires authentication did you get that setup in WebClient"

Im not sure I was able to find that portion in the webclient.

Thank you for the information. I did not know there was a setting to allow POP on GMail.

You should use the GMAIL forwarding feature instead of the GMAIL POP feature.

That will speed up your GMAIL's by as much as 15 minutes.

I second Mark's comment.

As a BB user on a BWC (no BES) with email accounts with multiple providers. You can configure all of these to allow POP access (assuming they allow it) and your BB will "poll" them every 15 minutes. If you have high volume, the polling time will automatically shorten. There is a minimum of about 3 minutes or so for very high email volume users. However, why would you want to do this? You may as well just go with a smartphone and a regular GPRS account. You can control your polling then. One of the major attractions with a BB is the push data functionality; anything that arrives at your BB email addy will automatically show up on your handheld - no need to poll... It's like paying for a convertible, then fixing the top in place so it can't be opened...

If you setup GMAIL on your bb, will it still work like the "pushed blackberry" account? Or will it just check every so often?

[GOLIATH]

Ok, here is what I did, and it seems to be working fine....

I fwd all gmail emails to my hotmail, then I set up my pop through hotmail. This way I get all my gmail and hotmail emails in one.

So far so good.

GOLAITH,

Why not forward your GMAIL's directly to your blackberry.net address? That will make your emails arrive about 15 minutes faster. (i.e. GMAIL's will show up on your BlackBerry in just mere seconds after somebody sends the email to you)

- Use BWC POP to download hotmails
- Use GMAIL forwarding dirctly to BlackBerry (not to hotmail)

Or do you prefer your GMAIL emails to be delayed by up to 15 minutes?

[GOLIATH]

i would do that, but I im in the music industry and I get a lot of MP3's sent to my gmail addy. If I fwd to my nextel.blackberry.net acount, wouldnt that fill up my 10mb of space?

[sempai]

Isn't it going to fill up anyway, since you'll be popping them over to the BWC?

[GOLIATH]

makes sence I guess. Thanks again everyone.

[Mark Rejhon]

Are the attachments from Hotmail also hogging your BWC space? If so, then then that's right -- it wouldn't make a difference.

However, if BWC is smart enough to download only the message without attachments, then there may still be advantage...

Do a test by sending an attachment to hotmail, and seeing if that hogs space in your BWC.

[MattBerry]

i noticed that after i forwarded my gmail to my tmo account, and changed my sent from address to my gmail account. When i sent e-mails to hotmail and yahoo accounts my e-mail showed up as spam. Changing the sent from address is what did that. I'm thinking of switching back. I can wait a few minutes I guess for pop to come through but i can't send out spam.

[WNO]

Another way of addressing the attachment issue is by using the Gmail filters feature to forward only certain mail to your BB. You can set up a filter to exclude e-mails with attachments, etc.

[sempai]

Really sad that Hotmail and Yahoo! can't compete with gmail in a reasonable way, so they have to just start flagging all gmail users as spam.

Scumbags.

I have a few Gmail accounts I can give up through referrals. Send me a message with your email address and name and I will send the ones I have. Maybe you can get it to work with your BB, I can't get it to work with the BB or my Outlook. The only thing I ask is if you get it to work, let me know how you got it working!
