I have gmail setup in the mail on the task bar, I mean the default mail program by just type the screen to add an account, it has gmail settings and I have a very complex password with capital letters, numbers, no symbols though. And I had been setting my gmail account up again and again because of rom flash. I didn't notice any problem. BTW, if you have unlimited txt, you can forward your mail to txt, that's what I'm doing. But I don't set to auto send/receive just to save more battery(the habit from diamond because that little sucker's battery was too small) That way I got real time notice and can go to mail program and s/r the new mail. One significant drawback for this method, big email will be refused by my sprint txt server, so I got no notice at all. And gmail can't forward a title only
