Gmail is working fine for me, but I install my settings via UC. If you dare to delve into UC, you can get a lot of setup automated. If you are willing to make a couple text files and then copy paste some text, then check out this post:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...057#post782057 to get started.
Summary:
All you will need to create is sdcconfig.txt and gmail.xml and place them on your sd-card.
Your sdconfig.txt will contain the following text:
Code:
XML:\Storage Card\gmail.xml
Your gmail.xml file will contain the following:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!-- *** Start Configuring Gmail IMAP *** -->
<characteristic type="EMAIL2">
<characteristic type="{2c431f22-e28f-4ac7-a876-3fb1b08b728c}">

</characteristic>
</characteristic>

Of course, in the above after you copy and paste the above to your gmail.xml, you will need to change 3 values:
"NAME"
"AUTHNAME"
"AUTHSECRET"
Oh, and if you don't know how to create an xml file, how about this:
- You need to be able to see the entire file names to change extensions, so in a folder, click "Tools" --> "Folder Options..." --> "View" tab at the top --> Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", press "Ok"
- Then, you create your two text documents "sdconfig.txt" and gmail.txt" by right clicking on empty space in a folder. "New" --> "Text Document"
- leave them as .txt files until you finish copy / pasting / editing, then
- change the .txt to .xml in the gmail file.
Have fun
