Best way to do gmail?

[martypng]

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.

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 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...

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.

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!!!

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).

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