Gmail question

[pistu]

I am using the gmail service that came with the touch pro2. Whenever I open my email with attachments and click on the attachments, I get the message that attachments will open the next time gmail connects. I deleted my gmail account because of this since it was easier to login to gmail through my browser. If the question was answered before, can someone forward me to the thread. Also the option to connect to gmail is a minimum of 10-15 mins so dont want to mail that long for a attachment. any help or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Seven Push e-mail??

You should be able to just hit Send/Receive and the attachment should download. It might take a few seconds depending on how large it is.

This is the first time I heard of it, I will try it today. Thanks.

I don't know if your using a Exchange for work or not, if you are not try using google sync, its like your own personal Exchange with your Gmail account.

can't you just set your acct to download attachments automatically? my yahoo does this flawlessly.

Yes GMail should be able to do this as well you just have to remember to edit the setting from the INBOX not the menu key on the slider because that will give you the options to edit the account in windows where the other menu only gives you the ability to edit the account in sense. If needed I can post step by step instructions

[pmeunier]

Ah never mind.... here are the instructions:

From the Sense slider, select Inbox
Select menu
Scroll the screen up a bit
Select tools
Scroll up a bit
Select options (if this is grayed out then wait a few moments and try again. its grayed out because the phone is trying to sync. wait for it to stop and try again)
Tap the gmail account
You’ll see three options there “Edit Account Setup”, “Send/Receive Schedule” and “Download Size Settings”.
Select the last one (Download Size Settings)
Change the message download limit to entire message
Change download attachments to all attachments
Tap done
Tap done
Tap done a third time and you should be back to your inbox.
Do a send and receive and from then on you should be all set.
Sometimes if you catch a new email as soon as it comes in you may find that it hasn’t finished downloading but most times you’ll go in there and all the attachments have been downloaded. Don’t forget to set the SD card as your default storage for attachment

This thread explains how to automatically download your emails and attachments so you don't have to click it then wait. Hope it helps.

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it.
