when you click to add an account, the options are exchange, gmail, and other.

doing it through exchange will sync your calander and contacts too. if you just add it in as an acct, it will not sync anything but mail.

is this what your looking for? somehow seems too simple.

Yes, that's what I'm doing. I'm talking more about being able to archive mail, apply labels. Maybe I need to learn to go without doing that until I'm back to my desktop pc.

I have a handy shortcut to open it with PIE. Yeap, the old PIE. BTW, there's no faster browser when it comes to load from ground (Opera, Skyfire, Opera 9.5, etc.) all of them may take seconds to boot up the first time and PIE loads INSTANTLY no matter what. Then the excellent Gmail mobile interface does the rest. If for any reason I consider I need a more robust handle of the mail in question then I load something bigger (like EAS).

Regards.

Exchange is the best solution and yes, it does save battery. You will get your email as it arrives. Awesome.

Before you could just forward mails to your phone as SMS and get then push-email-like alerts without sacrificing battery life but Google recently screwed that (now you need to click a confirmation link in the destination email but such link/code doesn't fit the SMS so kinda endway there).

active sync. get inbox, no spam. i can manage the account fom opera otherwize the delete button works great. and after a hard reset or flash, contacts come back on next sync.

Exchange; push email is very convenient.

I can't even do this for some reason...when I go to add acct. I enter my info and it takes me to the hotmail page in my browser, it doesn't add the acct. in the mail tab. Worked fine before I hard reset, what gives? also hope I'm not thread jacking, if so just ignore...

Cool - I installed the GMAIL 2.06 Java file, and it seems to work pretty well! Thanks! I just need to do the registry edit to make the fonts a little bigger now.

awsome glad I can help! Dont forget to goto gmail app then settings to allow larger font.

My preference for regedit is

large font = 32
medium = 26
small = 22
