Start > System > ActiveSync

Menu > Configure Server

Server Address: m.google.com (make sure the "server requires an encrypted connection" option is checked)

Next

User name: %Whatever is in front of @gmail.com (e.g johndoe, mike.smith, etc)%
Password: %Obviously your password%
Domain: gmail.com

Next

Check "E-mail" (make sure Tasks is NOT checked or nothing will sync)

You can set email options (like how far back you want to download) by highlighting "E-mail" and clicking the "Settings" button.

You can also check "Contacts" to sync up the contacts in your phone to gmail and vice versa. Very handy for me since I'm constantly re-flashing my phone because of all the awesome cooks here.

You can also check "Calendar" if you have Google Calendar associated with your gmail account so you can sync your appointments. Also very handy, I actually use my phone's calendar now.

Hope you haven't given up yet, otherwise I typed all this for nothing!

It worked! For the first time I have my gmail coming to my phone!

It was so easy to setup and get working with this method.. Thank you so much.=D>=D >=D>=D>
