carlb,

are these your current settings?

pop.gmail.com:995


smtp.gmail.com:465

i downloaded mobile Gmail to my 6800 but it said it wouldn't work...

how did you guys do it? I am total newb to pocket PCs

Go into Messaging in your phone and click on add new email account. Then just type in your Gmail info.

Yes. But my problem was that I had "mail from the last 5 days", picked and it didn't work. When I picked "all messages" it worked.

Aight..I'll give that a try...thanks!

try also changing your username to recent:yourusername@gmail.com.

why dont you use direct push on gmail with emoze it also syncs your contacts

i tried that with my treo 700wx. it didn't play nice at all but i'm assuming its because i was also using an exchange server for work email.

Oh dear god do not use emoze for gmail if you have an exchange server setup.... I made that mistake already myself... Personaly I forward all my gmail.com mail over to my account on mail2web.com live account and use there free mobile exchange server with direct push. I like that method alot better personaly. Ive been using it for about 2 years now flawlessly.

i found that one out the hard way, i feel like my phone never shut off from all the times it kept trying to connect, then it would disconnect then reconnect again. i deleted that after about 16 hours of having it on. but seems like it would work for someone not using exchange.

i got it to work. it was the 'Recieve All Mail' setting. thanks
