Best way to do gmail?
 

What method do you guys prefer to do Gmail on your Touch Pro? Right through Exchange? m.gmail.com in Opera? Skyfire? Mobile mode in those browsers or standard mode? How about installing Java? None of the options I've tried so far is fantastic....just wondering what the consensus is for the best overall. Thank you.

just add it in your mail folder.

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.

I set up my wife's gmail through her Touch Pro's native mail tab... That way it checks for new mail every 2 hours. I set up her yahoo that way too.

Ditto. It works great for my purposes. I only want my email since I use Outlook on my PC for contacts, tasks and appointments. I did set mine to check every 1\2 hour instead of the default 2 hours. Some people want fast responses. They confuse email with text messages.

I prefer mine to be set up through Exchange. Seems to save battery(trick of the mind?)

Here is the best way, you will get email as it arrives as well as save battery, connect to your gmail account via active sync and setup gmail on it and click email only and on schedule, click as items arrive, you will get email, as it comes, like the blackberry and save battery!!!

Now what if I only want mail from a certain Gmail folder forwarded to TP as it arrives, instead of all of my mail?

Re: Best way to do gmail?
 

Believe you can set that up in gmail directly?

Re: Best way to do gmail?
 

yes, goto folders and you can set what folders get updated automatically.

I would just use the email preferences on your gmail account and set up a rule that states... when email is received from xxx@xxx.com forward to 123456789@messaging.sprintpcs.com Just change 123456789 to your actual phone number.
